I'd like to just sync the photos from my iPhone that are in the favourites folder to iCloud. I have seen many people ask this question in the past but not seeing any answers. Surely after years of asking, Apple have figured out a way of implementing this??
I just want to me able to mark a photo as a favourite and it automatically save to iCloud rather than every single photo I take going to the cloud for backup.
Can anyone help?

Well that's just silly. Why can't I decide what gets synced......like what Google users can do with Google photos!
With Google, yiou can just sync the Favourites.
So, If it cant be done with iCloud, how can it be done with Apple? Surely there is a way to do this basic task??
Ridiculous. People have been asking for this feature for YEARS!
It's quite unbelievable that Apple users need to find a third party solution to this.
No, what you are looking for is not the design of iCloud Photos. It has always been an all or nothing syncing service so you can see everything across multiple devices. Any changes/actions taken, like deleting, on one device happens to iCloud and all other devices. Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
Well, Apple isn’t Google and this is just the way Apple chose long ago to have iCloud work. 🤷♀️ You’ll need to look for and use another service that offers what you’re looking for.
You don't need a third-party. Just sync your photos.
Syncing only favourite photos to iCloud
