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
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!

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?
Airdropped photos go to files instead of photos
