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

iOS 18.1 didn't fix this bug. I don't need any new fancy AI stuff, just make the most basic features work. Really disappointed... 😞

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've unfortunately been hit with this as well.

It's been an issue for me for months.

I've submitted feedback to Apple, and updated the feedback every time an update comes out and the issue still isn't fixed. It seems to be a less common issue as it seems to only affect people who don't use iCloud photos and who instead choose to store their photos locally and save them to local devices.

It seems our best bet is unfortunately to cause as much fuss as possible until enough people are making noise that Apple elects to dedicate manpower to resolving this issue.

I really do hope it does get resolved soon, this has been my primary way of finding photos for years now (by only needing to know where they were taken, not when, or any other characteristic). And this has made navigating photos on my phone substantially slower and more difficult after bringing to the table such a useful feature.

What's worse is it travels between phones too having gone from an iPhone 15 Pro Max to an iPhone 16 Pro.

Fingers crossed we all get a fix sooner rather than later.

I had a call with apple this week. The supervisor told me it’s a known Issue. They are already on it to fix it. We need to wait for the next updates…

i will stop updating with new iOS asap too many bucks. It’s Always a beta that’s released to public

Hey everyone, good news!

This has finally been fixed!!

The current pre-release (you can't say the b word or your post gets removed) has fixed it!

Same issue here. Every release seems to cause a problem with the photos app. Currently, the Map only shows items that were recently taken on the iPhone. Photos that are imported from a PC that used to show up in the Map, no longer do. This is a bug and needs a fix to IOS 18.1. The only thing fixed in photos app with IOS 18 is the faces now show in people which stopped working in IOS 17.

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

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?

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.

Just adding my name to the chorus. This is a frustrating bug.

Still having this issue with iOS 18.1 today
