Method 1: Reinstall Amazon Photos

This is a very generic method to solve any bug-related problem. Amazon officials recommended uninstalling the currently installed app and then reinstalling the app. This might rectify the issue.

• To reinstall the app, you first have to uninstall the app which is already present on your phone.
• You can do so by going to settings of your phone-> apps-> Amazon Photos->Uninstall or just by simply long pressing the app on your home screen a popup will appear to uninstall the app.
• Now, reinstall the app from Android/iOS and launch it again to check whether it is working or not.

Method 2: Upload Photos Manually

The next thing you can try to fix the issue is to manually upload the photos instead of depending on an automated process. To manually upload the photos,

• You can go to smiley/profile icon at the top left side.
• Then tap on the setting at the top right and select the “Upload photos manually” option.
• Select the photos and videos that you want to upload and tap the “Upload” button.
• Then at last check, if the issue gets fixed or not.

Method 3: Downgrade Amazon Photos App

It seems that this problem has come after the latest update. So to fix this problem what you can do is, just downgrade to its previous version. But keep in mind that you can do it only from a third-party website. So, do it at your own risk.

• You can simply visit any trusted third-party website then search for the app and download its previous version.
• After that go to the play store and search for amazon photos and tap on the overflow icon situated at the top right.

• Now uncheck the “Enable auto-update and test out the app”.

Method 4: Clear App Cache

Most of the time the problem gets solved merely by clearing the app cache. As app cache might contain different photos which are not synced with the Amazon server yet, causing several problems including Amazon Photos not working properly.

• To clear the cache, press and hold on to the app icon till the popup come.
• Then click app info and tap on storage.
• You will find the option of “clear cache” option there, tap on that and the cache will be cleared.
