Persistent 'Enhancing Photos' pop-up in Photos app on iPhone

In "Photos" app, I have a pop up that says "Enhancing Photos". It does not allow me to use the "Photos" app. I have tried a restart. No go. There is a small horizontal pop up that says "Enhancing Photos"

You told us about your Mac and macOS-- but what is your iPhone and iOS?


Try a forced restart on your iPhone:

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

This is different from a simple Power Off. I had to continue holding the button down past the "slide to power off" message, and then I released the button only after  the Apple Logo appeared indicating a re-start. 


Let us know how it goes…
