It was very frustrating to see no progress when downloading originals from iCloud in photos app on iOS.
You can use iMessages in iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. IMessages are not available on iCloud.com. The messages are stored in the iCloud backup. So you cannot view iMessages online. But with an iPhone backup extractor, you can access iMessages, text messages on iCloud backup. Apple’s Messages in iCloud service can be used to backup all your text messages to the cloud so that you can download them to your new iPhone - and keep them in sync across all your Apple.
I tried everything: sevreral reebots, iCloud sign-out, plug power cable in, leave the iphone unused for a whole night, switching icloud photos off and on again. Nothing worked. I ended up with: 'Downloading 5359 Originals'. This was so frustrating. But then I found a clever trick.
Here is a solution to force downloading all originals:
- Create a new album and add all photos (it was not easy to select all photos, as in iOS 13 the select all button is gone, but you can do it manually by tapping, holding and swiping during selection, or you can do it on a Mac (cmd-a), this album will sync to your iOS device)
- Then open that new album and select all photos
- Tap the share icon on the left bottom
- Select 'Save to files' ('In Dateien sichern' on german, don't know exact translation)
- Your photos app will now start downloading all originals, as it needs them for sharing and you will see the progress in a popup. Just leave your phone until it downloaded all originals.
Hope this really will help all with the same issue. This trick is just working fine for me on iPhone and iPad.
