Photos debacle after 18.1.1 update

I HATE the way it’s set up. Just today it’s putting the photos taken today on some new folder called “Recent Days” and yet only some of those photos. Also show in the general all photos file. Like what is even going on? Who thought any of this would be helpful? I wound up taking about 10 pictures of the same thing because I thought it wasn’t working.

Of course, all of your photos are in your library likely in date order of date captured or recently added (whoever you choose to uses to sort). And those items are hanging out right above Recent Days.

Jizkid ~ The long process of applying an iOS update to an iPhone with a weak, aging battery can be the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back." Then the iOS update is mistakenly blamed for the device's unexpected behaviours.

...So that battery should be replaced ASAP and then the iPhone's functionality can be reassessed.

Have you told Apple what you'd like to see?

It is on 79%..

So closing in on replacement.

For me this does not explain, that

• from yesterday on 18.2 siri shortcut commands worked and today on 18.3 it does not work anymore. According to Occams Razor, the most logical reason is probably the update.
• Siri does work with other commands that are in the Home-App… that is also the answer of Siri, that it does not see the shortcut I want to have executed in the Home app… Was there a change that those shortcut commands should be in the home app? Would be weird wouldn’t it?

but, what specifically? You can search by date. Recent dates, includes photos by day. You can sort the photos.

Why not? The most recent photos are in your library and in recent days.

That's how photos has always worked. All of your photos are in the library.

The update cannot be reversed. Your albums remain. Recents remains. Everything is still there.

You can, of course, still search by date. And, you can view photos by date in recent days.

What specifically are you having an issue with in photos?

Indeed. The search facility changed into garbage, while it used to be very functional.

Filed a complaint into the Feedback as you suggested, thanks, but I fear that also will not help, but who knows.

For now we will have to stumble on with a debilitated app.

Please do something good with this

No one participating here can do that.

No, they’re not. I’m on holiday and have been taking photos every day. My “recents” include Sunday and then today (Friday) with no images in between.

THANKFULLY they are showing on my iPad, but those missing days are mirrors when I log into iCloud.

it’s utterly infuriating.

I spent the weekend moving all my photos to the windows 11 laptop I had planned to replace in a migration to Apple or had until 18.1.1. I am still looking for a solution. The photos color quality and detail lost in transition. Color and fatal are critical for my use. My advice is to try some options, free or short term, to test image quality. Befuddling decision by Apple.
