Doesn’t your iPhone need to be charging and on WiFi and the same with the MacBook for that to work? Not sure but used to be something like that.
only when I have my iPhone atached to my MacBook and sync but should it not do this automacically >?
Are your photos being uploaded to iCloud?
On iPhone: Settings -> Apple ID -> iCloud -> Photos set to "on"
On MacBook: System Preferences -> Apple ID -> iCloud -> Photos checked
Sometimes, for some reason known only to Apple, my iPhone photos pause uploading to iCloud "to save battery." This happens even when the battery is fully charged. I have to go into the photo app, scroll to the bottom of the library tab, and tell it to resume. Once a photo gets to iCloud, it usually appears on my MacBook promptly.

Yeah, something changed. My iPhone photos used to upload automatically (with settings as recommended by JBinPDX). Now, preferring not to periodically hardwire my iPhone to my Mac, I just email my photos to myself, then move them from email to Photos on my Mac.
