Import from Apple Photos

Mobile

If you are using Apple Photos on your phone, then the most seamless way is to install the Ente app on your mobile device. The Ente app will directly read from your iCloud library and import.

TIP

For large libraries, this process may take a bit of time, so you can speed it up by keeping the app running in the foreground while the initial import is in progress. You can do this by going to Settings > Backup > Backup settings and turning on "Disable auto lock" (Note: this is only needed during the initial import, subsequently the app will automatically backup photos in the background as you take them).
