Editing Photos in IOS 18

Same happening to me on my new 16 Pro, and checking on reddit, many people having the same problem.

I think Apple should quickly look into this. It is a shame that they have bugs like this on a $1000 plus phone…

It seems that the issue with photo editing is quite common. I recently updated my iPhone 12 Pro to iOS 18.0.1, but unfortunately, the problem still persists. As someone who relies on this photo editing feature almost daily for work in construction, it has been very frustrating. I have also purchased the new iPhone 16 Pro, which is currently awaiting use once I finish my current project, but I am concerned that this issue may exist on the new device as well.

“Apple”, could you please advise on any potential solutions or updates that may address this problem? Your assistance in resolving this matter as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated.

Do the programmers at Apple think users enjoy ferreting out issues when they do a system upgrade?

Just updated to iOS on iPhone 12 ProMax.

First problem, I went into ‘all photos’ seeking an album to search for a particular picture. No longer available. FINALLY found my albums through Photo App. Did I enjoy spending time learning how to ‘rethread the needle?’

Then the NEXT surprise. Cannot insert text into important pictures and change the COLOR of the text. Same situation as previously described. When you FINALLY find the text editing box and touch it, it IMMEDIATELY closes with no changes allowed.

There is an old saying in the south…. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

Like you, not only can’t I change the text colour like I used to, but when I click on “Done” my text is no longer cantered… it’s off kilter🤪 If I try to go back in to correct it, it looks exactly as I want it to until it click on “Done” again🤷‍♀️ Used to LOVE modifying my pictures before updating my iPhone ☹️

Yes!!! After I updated to 18, (15 Pro max)when I try to add text to a photo, I can’t change the font, color or anything. It’s just multiple other issues as well when I try to edit a photo! It’s SOOOO frustrating! It was happening when I updated to 17 as well. I’ve reached out to support multiple times and nothing… I really hope they fix this ASAP!!

This seems to be a real problem. Markup works fine for me and for many others. Some people have reported that with two phones in their family, one works and the other doesn't. The differences occur even with the same camera model, the same operator, and the same OS. There's probably noting that we can do differently with our phones to fix it.

This is going to make it a crazy problem to solve.

Having the same issue. I just updated and this is fristrating.

The same problem here :( IPhone 15ProMax, iOS 18.0.1

I’m dealing with the same exact issue. Resetting the phone does not fix the problem. Very frustrating.

Just an update: I don’t know how, but the problem with editing and adding text to a picture has been solved on my 16 Pro.

Suddenly I’m able to add text, edit it, change color, font type, etc.
