Presenting a UIImagePickerController is quite slow

My phone has about 2000 photos. When I present a UIImagePickerController, it takes ~3-4 seconds. How can I optimize this operation?



Thank you.

  • you should include more details about your situation, what are you trying to achieve, a snippet of your code, anything that can help pinpoint what might be the problem, more often than not, the assumption of the problem is not the real problem, The UIImagePickerController displays a list of assets that have cached thumbnails, such a list should work smoothly regardless of the amount of photos on the device, most likely, there is a problem in your code that denies the UIImagePickerController to pop up when you click on the import button, sharing you code/implementation will probably help

  • Sadly, this is just a side effect of using a UIImagePickerController. You can handle this issue by implementing a custom image picker which uses a more efficient image loading or simply displaying an activity indicator to let the user know that it's loading.
