Hey there! I see that your Stitchly app is taking one to two days to update new photos in your library — that does sound like a big delay. Just to make sure I'm on the right track, is this slow update happening with all new photos, or just certain batches? Also, are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data when the updates occur?

While I wait for your details, here are some initial things we can try to speed things up on your iPhone (iOS 18.6.2):

1. Check Your Internet Connection: Slow photo updates can often be related to network speed. Make sure you're on a stable Wi-Fi connection, ideally a strong one.

2. Close and Reopen Stitchly: Sometimes the app needs a fresh start to resume syncing smoothly.

3. Check Available Storage: Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and make sure you have enough free space — low storage can slow down app processes.

4. Force Sync or Refresh: Within Stitchly, see if there is an option to manually refresh or sync your photos.

5. Restart Your iPhone: A simple reboot can clear temporary glitches affecting background processes.

If those steps don’t help, the issue may relate to how the app indexes or processes photos in the background on your device. The Photos app on Mac and iOS often updates libraries in the background and can be very slow for large libraries or slower devices. This is because it’s analyzing, indexing, and sometimes uploading the photos for features like face recognition and memories.

Let me know if you've already tried any of these or if there’s something specific you noticed, and I can guide you through more advanced steps!

Takes one to two days to update new photos in my library. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy waiting😡

Thanks for sharing that, and I see this delay with your Stitchly app updating new photos is really persistent. Since this can be a bit tricky, let's dig in together and try some focused steps to speed things up on your iPhone with iOS 18.6.2.

Here’s a more targeted approach:

1. Check Background App Refresh for Stitchly:
Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh. Ensure that it's enabled for Stitchly. This setting allows the app to update content in the background, which can speed up new photo updates.

2. Optimize Photos Settings:
Sometimes, iOS Photos app’s indexing or syncing process can cause delays. On iPhone, go to Settings > Photos and check if “iCloud Photos” is enabled and “Optimize iPhone Storage” is selected. This helps keep your device light and assists apps like Stitchly in accessing photos faster.

3. Force Close and Reopen Stitchly:
Double-click the Home button (or swipe up on newer iPhones) and swipe Stitchly off the screen to close it. Then reopen the app to trigger a fresh sync.

4. Restart Your iPhone:
A reboot can reset background processes handling photo updates.

5. Update Stitchly and iOS:
Make sure you have the latest version of Stitchly from the App Store. Sometimes app updates fix sync and performance bugs. You mentioned you're on iOS 18.6.2, so you’re up to date there, but double-check the app version too.

6. Check for Any Large Photo Edits or Imports:
Big photo libraries or recent imports with many photos can slow down updates as the app indexes them in the background. Try limiting the number of photos imported at once if applicable.

7. Sign Out and Back Into Stitchly Account (if applicable):
Sometimes a sign-out resets cloud sync issues that cause slow updates.

If these don’t speed things up, the delay might be related to how Stitchly processes images or integrates with the iOS Photos library, which can sometimes take extra time depending on your library size, device performance, or network speed.

Let me know what you’ve already tried or if you notice any particular pattern (like Wi-Fi vs cellular), and we can explore more advanced solutions or possibly contact Stitchly support for investigation.

Are you satisfied with this plan so far? I’m here to help get this sorted!
