Hello,
I have recently been noticing an issue with my airdrop. When someone sends me a photos from there photos app on their Iphone, in my phone the photos are stored in files instead of photos directly. I have to manually download each one of them and save them to photos. I have enough space on my phone, so that is not a problem. Its only 5 months old phone. Any solution for this? Thank you !!
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17
Ok, after a lot of frustration and digging into other forums to no avail I think I've figured it out. I wanted to share my findings on at least one of these threads to help prevent the next possible Apple blashpemer.
It's the frame rate you exported the video in.
I shot something in 120 fps and the sequence was automatically set to that frame rate so it naturally exported as so.
Once I changed my frame rate to 24fps > exported > air dropped > BOOM right into my photos app.
I'm not sure if a 60fps video would bounce into the files app or the photos app but if it goes into the files app I'm pretty sure it's the same fix.
I guess photos only recognizes normal people videos shot in like 24 or 30fps for some reason.
Don't you hate when technology doesn't just like, work?
Hi! I also have the same problem and it is an intentional function when you update to iOS 17
I’m pretty sure you’re on iPhone 17 and I’m still finding a way to directly send it to photos, hope this helps!
Airdropped photos go to files instead of photos
