After iOS 18-Update the Map in Photos-App does not show Pictures from my Mac

If the number is exactly 1, the photo is shown. If the number is higher than 1 it doesn't show any photos. Clearly a bug that needs to be fixed :-(

Exact same problem with all the comments,

please help

three attachments .. after this I give up

1) 23 fotos on the icon on the map

2) click on the icon (with 23 photos) = nothing

3) go to one of the photos. It is geo located correctly.

why the point 2 blank? it worked fine (showed 23 photos) on v17

I see the same thing on my iPadAir 10,9" (5th Generation, M1) iPadOS 18.0.1 with images synced via Finder and USB from Mac mini 2018 macOS 15.0.1. Photos Map view reports "No Photos or Videos" if a location has more than 1 image.

I am still holding my breath before complaining because I am waiting Apple to fix this relatively minor new glitch.

But I encourage you to send feedback to Apple:

Product Feedback - Apple

Or especially in long-standing cases where you and other people can reproduce and agree of the issue:

https://feedbackassistant.apple.com

The Feedback Assistant page might also be pretty much a bit-bucket too, but not quite the direct-to-the-shredder type as the product feedback page.

Same of both our iPads and it sort of works on the iPhones but only shows a limited number of photos , not the total as indicated by the thumbnail. Prior to iOS 18 this function (previously known as Places) worked perfectly.

Having the exact same issue. I forced a rebuild of photo data and resynced the pictures as well to no success.

the thumbnails would show on the map. But when you tap on the thumbnail with the quantity of photos in the bottom corner, nothing would show in the list of photos aka no photos found.

anyone find a fix?

Is this an issue that only affects pictures that are not synced with iCloud Photos?

Same issue for me. Really disappointed by Apple, I just lost another 1 hour after update 18.0.1 to synchronize again all photos. No geotagging for photos available….

I have also been affected by this bug since updating to iOS 18. It still persists with 18.0.1

same thing with me. prevously worked on v17.x. Shows N number of photos on the map (seem to be correct). But when you click on the icon with (eg) 52 photos nothing "No photos of videos". Why didnt you test this before the upgrade to 18

Same problem for me. The map of photos app on the mac works fine, but the map of photos on the iphone 16 pro max and ipad pro m4 that synced with that macbook photos not working.

This is my iPad:

The arrow points to a place that has 5000 pictures

This is my iPhone:

It's pretty much the same.

What is it that's different about what you're doing? Maybe that would be a clue to what you're getting…

I'm using iCloud Photos with Optimize on for phone and off for iPad. I've had iOS 18 since a couple days after the upgrade-- two weeks? The phone is a 12 and the iPad is maybe 4 years old. The maps look the same on my MacBook. What's the difference?

With IOS 18.0.1 the same problem is present with a iPhone 16 Pro Max.
