  5. Do you have enough free storage space?

    • Keep at least 5GB of free storage for mobile uploads, as Apple reserves storage for their own uses, resulting in less free space than shown in settings.
    • Delete and reinstall any oversized apps that sometimes cache images

  6. Make sure the app is left running and the device does not fall asleep
