Anyone else notice with iOS 18 that markup text on a photo cannot have its color changed?

When markup text is selected for editing a little pop up occurs. Hitting the font button in the pop up opens the dialog. Hitting the color button just closes the pop up.




iPhone 14

Happening on one of our 2 phones, a 16 Plus running iOS 18.0.1. (but not on a 16 running same software version). Noticed it first when trying to add a shape to a photo; according to reps in the Apple Store today it’s a bug, but they claim to have no means of reporting it, so not sure what can be done.

Same issues here. Had a 12 Pro, updated to iOS 18, immediately noticed that changing text color in markup wouldn’t work, almost as if the color screen was force closing. It fixed itself for a couple days, then the same issue came back. My husband has a 14 Pro, my son has a 14, and their markup works just fine. I just upgraded to a 16 Pro since I was eligible for an upgrade and my 12 Pro became so laggy. I have the same issues with markup with my 16 Pro as I did with my 12 Pro, so it’s not a phone issue. The issue seems very user specific, but I do think it’s an issue with iCloud. I can save a photo to my files, open up the photo within the files app, and markup works just fine. It does not work through the photo app.
