    Hi mlerrigo, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    How large are the images that aren't previewing in the Photos tab?

     

    Do they have any filters on them, are they screenshots or just normal camera photos?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      Hi

      These are all normal iphone 14 pro photos and videos. Videos are very short. I've never had this problem before and it's only just happened. I've just had the same happen today. I uploaded about 8 photos and they have uploaded to camera uploads but are not showing in the photos tab both on my phone and online.

       

      Thanks

      Edit:- Think I've sorted out what the problem is. The photos that wouldn't show in the photos tab were taken with the ProRAW setting. Really large file sizes, with the .dng file suffix rather than .heic. If I take photos with that setting turned of they show up in the photos tab. Nonetheless, it would be nice if you could ask your software guys to be able to have ProRAW photos be able to be seen in the photos tab. Thanks
