Apple has a fix for that. Background uploads from apps like Immich are tied to how often you open the app. So if you’re not constantly opening the app you rely on for sync, it’ll silently fail and you won’t notice. So 3rd party apps feel unreliable when compared to Apple’s solution.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft act like ransomware gangs when it comes to photos. I hope we see the day where all 3 get split into a thousand different companies.

Edit: I just checked and my photos stopped syncing 14 days ago. Thanks for the garbage Apple!!

Take some ownership. Use Shortcuts to make a cron job to open the app daily. Voila, done and on to the next outrage.

I have a monthly recurring task in my task manager to open the Dropbox app on my iPhone and leave it in-focus for a couple of minutes while it uploads the previous month’s photos.

If I don’t do that, then it just won’t upload them.

I gave up on real time synchronization and I just do manual periodic bulk downloads. In my case using google takeout, but I'm sure Apple lets you do the same thing.
