iOS 18.2 Photo App Crash and Freeze on iPhone 16 Pro

Occam's Razor would disagree. Given 14 years of iPhones and 16 different versions with none ever having the same issue, logic dictates that the update is the issue. Timing of the issue appearing also is a giant red arrow pointing to an issue with the update. Disagree all you want, but lately apple has been well documented for releasing updates that aren't ready for mass release and cause issues to core functions. So either you're not paying attention or you're looking for an argument, either way it's not conductive to a solution and therefore unnecessary.

Same issue. When opening a photo to edit the app sometimes is unresponsive or crashes altogether.

Yesterday I opened the app and opened a photo and the phone went black and rebooted completely.

I've had multiple hangups on other apps as well, generally seems to be photo or video display related.

16 pro max 1TB.

Image playground crashes the app too.

Since the photos features and intelligence are the marquee features on this new phone and OS I would think apple would have tested these things better before selling us 1600 dollar phones that don't do what they are advertised to do. Very frustrating waiting for a fix for the update that was supposed to fix the issues already there.

This problem didn't exist prior to the update indicating that the update is the issue. The phone has force restarted itself, which also is a new feature of the new 18.2 update. I've had every new iPhone for 14 years and every new OS on day 1 and never had these issues until I performed this update.

Your superfluous comment would be less superfluous, ergo more easy to assimilate and appreciate, if you were trying to offer assistance and not criticizing without adding any value to the conversation.

No, logic doesn't dictate that at all. Two things that happen at the same time do not necessarily have a causal relationship. And in this case, if it was the update, why isn't everyone's Photo app crashing? Logic would dictate that if it's the update, it would happen to everyone, right?

If you actually want to troubleshoot the issue rather than complain about it, you'll have to approach the problem with an open mind. If you just want to complain.... well, everyone needs a hobby.

Probably just as well.

I wonder if you have corrupt files. Do you have pictures in your Photos Library that come from the internet or other sketchy sources? Do you add pictures from your computer by the use of a cable?

Do you use iCloud Photos?

Have you tried a forced restart?

If you make the assumption (and that's all it is) that the problem is the result of the update, you are limiting your ability to troubleshoot effectively.

Another favorite is "Well, it's aways worked before!" which is what my father said just after his first heart attack.

"Dicens hoc maius et saepius non facit verius" is the direct translation. Whether or not there is something pithier, I don't know. It's been close to fifty years since I seriously studied Latin. ;-)

Post hoc ergo proper hoc. It's a very common logical fallacy.
