Thumbnails appearing as white squares is a known issue that may affect media imported from Apple Photos on certain models of Apple iPhones. The Mylio Photos team is working to fix this bug in a future update.
In the meantime, to resolve the issue, the media must be removed and reimported. This can be done on a computer by modifying the External Changes Policy, moving all of the affected images out of their current folder (in Finder/File Explorer), then moving them back.
- Open Mylio Photos on your computer
- The computer must have a Device Sync Policy of Vault or be connected to an external drive vault
- Open the Mylio Photos Dashboard and select Devices > Your Device Name. Scroll down and set the External Changes Policy to Remove deleted files on all devices
- Right-click the folder in Mylio Photos that contains white images and choose Reveal in Finder/Explorer (if your computer is a vault) or Reveal in External (if your external drive is a vault)
- Move the files to a location that isn’t part of your Mylio Photos library. This could be your Desktop, the root of your external drive, or another location
- Please note that all associated files should be moved together. This may include files ending in HEIC, MYB, XMP, and/or _display.jpg
- Wait for the photos to disappear from the Mylio Photos application
- Close and reopen Mylio Photos
- In Finder or File Explorer, move all of the files back to their original folder. The files will be reimported into Mylio Photos and a new Thumbnail will be created.
