iOS 18 Photos Text Color Issue

iOS 18.2 has fixed both the photos text colour problem AND the video looping problem. Both were a problem in 18.1.1

After updating to 18.2 , you CAN get to a toggle (on / off) to have your videos on a constant loop (or not). The toggle facility is in :-

Settings / Apps / Photos / Loop Videos.

Apple has obviously lost the hunger to satisfy already captured customers and loyalty. Thus problem has been raised online for over 2 months. They’re losing customer centricity. There are other competitive phone brands out there too

Moondawg86, do these steps below. It's a permanent fix and only needs to be done once:

• Open your photo and click the 'edit' icon.
• Click the "markup" icon at top-right (looks like the tip of a pen).
• Select the pencil-eraser icon at the bottom.
• Tap your photo.

Now you should be able to click the + icon and add text, change font colors, and edit normally.

Oh that’s right. Telling about technical issues is just for venting our feelings.

Same here! I thought I was losing my mind! I’ve tried everything I can think of and nothing works. I can change the size of the text but not the color or the font. The tools simply disappear!

No, this is happening on various models, I have a 14 256gb and it’s a problem still

Samesies, menu closes when trying to change font color etc. 16 pro max

This is aggravating! I edit mostly on my phone these days, and now I cannot add proper labels. Please fix this soon!!!

This DOES work. Put Apple should fix this; a workaround should not be necessary.

A $3 trillion company should be able to fix a glitch yesterday!

I tried this method, but it didn’t work for me. The text color is stuck on black.

Tried that and didn’t work for me

OMG - THAT WORKED!! Thank you so much. That’s crazy tho - how did u ever figure it out?! Come on Apple - don’t mess with the what works

workaround someone suggested below works. Just hit eraser button...no need to use it...and then open text editing box. It should stay open and allow you to change font, size, color, etc.

How long does it take a huge company to fix a minor problem?
