Does Photos, Preferences, iCloud show any progress message, I think at the bottom? Are you using the same iCloud account? Is it that the photos sometimes don't sync? Or always? Sounds like sometimes, so maybe it is in progress.

You say a "desktop" so I assume you mean an iMac, Mac Pro or Mac mini. I would then check your connection and make sure your Mac is connected and all is well there.

Are you using the latest software updates? Do you have Photos, Preferences, iCloud, iCloud Photo Library turned on? And it sounds like you want "Download Originals" turned on too.

So I would check and re-check your Photos setting on your Mac. So no need to mess around with your iPhone and restart it or anything. "At the end of the day, even a thoroughly documented, carefully thought-out, and narrowly-scoped backdoor is still a backdoor," McKinney and Portnoy wrote.So how do you know that are getting uploaded to iCloud? Do you check at the iCloud web site? If they are there, then you know the problem isn't with your iPhone, as that part of the sync is working fine. The move is "a shocking about-face for users who have relied on the company’s leadership in privacy and security," the pair wrote. Other privacy researchers such as India McKinney and Erica Portnoy of the Electronic Frontier Foundation wrote in a blog post that it may be impossible for outside researchers to double check whether Apple keeps its promises to check only a small set of on-device content. "This will break the dam - governments will demand it from everyone." In their (very influential) opinion, it is safe to build systems that scan users’ phones for prohibited content," Matthew Green, a security researcher at Johns Hopkins University, warned.

On Twitter, some privacy and security experts expressed concerns the system could eventually be expanded to scan phones more generally for prohibited content or political speech.Īpple has "sent a very clear signal. One feature that sets Apple's system apart is that it checks photos stored on phones before they are uploaded, rather than checking the photos after they arrive on the company's servers. The Financial Times earlier reported some aspects of the program. Photos stored only on the phone are not checked, Apple said, and human review before reporting an account to law enforcement is meant to ensure any matches are genuine before suspending an account.Īpple said users who feel their account was improperly suspended can appeal to have it reinstated. When a user uploads an image to Apple's iCloud storage service, the iPhone will create a hash of the image to be uploaded and compare it against the database. Law enforcement officials maintain a database of known child sexual abuse images and translate those images into "hashes" - numerical codes that positively identify the image but cannot be used to reconstruct them.Īpple has implemented that database using a technology called "NeuralHash", designed to also catch edited images similar to the originals.

"The reality is that privacy and child protection can co-exist." "With so many people using Apple products, these new safety measures have lifesaving potential for children who are being enticed online and whose horrific images are being circulated in child sexual abuse material," John Clark, chief executive of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, said in a statement. Most other major technology providers - including Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google, Facebook Inc (FB.O) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) - are already checking images against a database of known child sexual abuse imagery.
