Edited photos on iPhone are not synced automatically about immich

Same here. And your workaround does not work for me. When I delete the original photo in Immich web, it vanishes also in the iOS app but I cannot trigger manual backup because the button is disabled. The edited photo never appears in the iOS app.

@sidamos actually, for me the button on the picture view also doesn't do anything, the backup tool in the app does the thing.

When you edit a photo, the Photos app saves a separate XMP file, not a new file; that is why you cannot upload the edited photo

Not for me. Once I delete the original in Immich, the edited one never shows up in Immich. My workaround is to duplicate the edited photo in the iOS gallery app.

@alextran1502 so... is it treated as a separate file when edited? Or backup mechanism in the app doesn't support updating edited files yet? Because at least in my case it uploads the edited version only when I delete the image in the UI, or when the image was never uploaded, it doesn't update it at all when I edit already synced image in the Photos app.

The library we used I believe isn't making this distinction. And we haven't worked on supporting this yet
