iOS 18 Photos Text Color Issue

Dear Apple

love your products but your updates are getting worse and worse when it comes to flaws like this. Auto-correct has become auto-glitch, almost impossible to use without frustration. Etc

I just got the 18.2 update, and it’s actually working again.

For now.

Omg I get it open but it won’t change the color.

Ecran bleu - this worked! Thanks so much!

You’ve successfully downgraded functionality. Well done apple.

it used to be easy to change text colors on image ...now its impossible with IOS18...this is crazy annoying! please fix asap so we can send holiday greetings!

You Sir are the real MVP! Thank you 🙏🏼

Totally agree! Does anyone from Apple even monitor these forums????

The font colour pop up when editing photos does not work - it keeps disappearing. Public comments have appeared on this problem since at least early October. Seems it’s an iOS 18 problem. FIX IT

Thank you, that worked. I hope they fix as it’s definitely a glitch but this way worked thank you so much!!!

Agreeee with the comments below!! 👇🏾 Hit the eraser ✏️ first and all the problems go away. I can color my font 🩷❤️🩵💚🧡🖤

Apple ……. Just FIX IT. Stop trying to rely on complicated community guidance to try and work around this. The feature worked perfectly before you message it up in update 18.0.1

I am having the exact same issue and it’s disappointing because I like to make my own memes. When will this be fixed? Does anyone know?

I updated my 2024 iPhone 15 pro from iOS17 to iOS18 about a month ago. Previously I had been able to add text to photos in a wide selection of colours very easily - see the picture with the label KEN in red. This feature was very easy and an important labelling function to draw contrasts and colour selection is needed because of the photo colour might be black and a black text label will not show. Or with several labels the color can be referenced in text. Then the UPDATE of iOS to 18 lost this functionality - attempting to choose text colour showed an microsecond flash of the colour selection and then it goes.. Tried many many times. I showed an assistant in the APPLE STORE highpoint Melbourne this week who said I should update to latest iOS18.2 which should have happened automatically as I had autoupdate selected but it didn't - so today I did the update and EXACTLY the same issue is still occurring .. WHEN IS APPLE going to fix this - with a new iPhone this is a consumer affairs issue as the system update had DEGRADED the iPhone Functionality and judging by the many complaints APPLE has had at least a month to fix this.. SO yes I am angry as I use this function often .. As an example I include a picture where the RED text was added using my iPhone 15 pro on iOS17 which came with the phone in August 2024 so before the update to iOS18

So true. I am writing on 12/28/2024 and the issue is still not clean. When the larger box opens, it's only for a split second. you can easily change the size of the font but not the text color
