It works for me. Do you see the Spatial Scene icon on the photo? It will only appear if there is a clear subject in the photo such as a person or animal.


Do you have Optimize Storage enabled? If so, the full size image must be downloaded from iCloud for it to work. From the dialog it looks like you don’t have a connection to iCloud.
