I'm having an issue with iCloud photos on my 17 pro and I'm hoping collective knowledge can solve it, here's the deal -
I have my phone set to download originals with iCloud Photo Library, but since I got the new phone its been stuck on the same number, "Downloading 41,925 photos" and it doesn't budge at all, everything is there to view just not downloaded to the phone. I've tried a few restarts and pausing/starting etc to get it it going again but it won't move. Finally I turned off iCloud photos sync altogether and told it to remove everything from the phone, however 1965 files remain, a mix of photos and videos, dating randomly from now back to 2010.
My question is - when this phone exclusively has pictures on it that came from iCloud, because it is new, why have almost 2000 remained on the phone after turning off iCloud Photos? It can't be that they haven't synced, because they came to this phone FROM iCloud, and everything appears normal on my other devices. I could delete them all but im concerned that when I eventually turn on iCloud Photos again, it will sync the deletion with the cloud library.
