Managing Photos on iOS 8

May 04, 2015

Recommendations For Managing Your Photos in iOS 8

iOS 8 includes iCloud Photo Library, Apple's photo sharing and cloud storage solution for all of your pictures on all of your devices, all of the time. Should you use it? Here is what we recommend:


If you haven't turned on iCloud Photo Library, we recommend you continue with what ever back up and sharing system you already use and leave it off.


If iCloud Photo Library is 'On' and 'Download & Keep' is selected, there is no need to change it. Download and Keep retains your full size images on your phone, just as before. The album "All Photos" replaces "Camera Roll." A full size copy of your images are also saved on iCloud.com. Your iCloud.com images can be accessed from any computer, any time with your iCloud log in and password. 5 Gb of storage is free, with paid storage available over 5 Gb.


If iCloud Photo Library is 'On' and 'Optimize' is selected, workflow changes. 'Optimize' saves a full size copy of your pictures on iCloud.com, and only a small thumbnail is left on your iPhone. In order to edit, print, or share an Optimized image, the full size file must be downloaded from iCloud.com on a wifi connection first. Because this requires an internet connection with extra steps and extra time, we recommend switching to Download and Keep if you have enough space on your iPhone or iPad for all of your images. Never, never turn iCloud Photo Library off when Optimize is selected--you can change to Download and Keep any time, and you can safely turn off iCloud Photo Library after all images are downloaded to the iPhone or iPad.The body content of your post goes here.

Tips for working with "Optimized" images:

  • Be sure to have a wifi internet connection available to edit, share or print Optimized photos.
  • Download images to your iPhone or iPad by opening them in Photos and tapping "Edit."
  • Log in to iCloud.com to access your full size images from any computer.
  • Recent images won't be Optimized immediately, so edit, share and print your photos right away to avoid the hassle.

Capture Your Story

What do golf and photography have in common? A constant pursuit of the perfect shot, a sense of community, or maybe it's the love for being outdoors.
