Getting “there was an error saving this photo. Please try again later.” - when saving edited photos with ios18

I have an iPhone 16 pro max. When I edit photos taken on portrait mode and do edits on it, I get the above error. With further investigation, I found our if an edit the photos and do adjustments with the “definition” slider, the phone tries to save it and then sands the error without saving the changes. Also in general, saving any photos edited in portrait mode seems to take longer with the “saving photo” display spinning for a bit before it actually saves. Is the a bug? I’m currently running iOS 18.0.1.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Also having this issue. Just spent a ton of time editing a photo of a watch for an eBay listing and had to screen shot it but the clarity is much worse. Not what I would expect from my new iPhone 16 pro max. Apple is going down hill.

Same problem. Apparently Apple doesn’t care. This will probably be one of those things we have to live with. There’s no way to notify Apple. There is no recourse. Nothing anyone can do except wait on Apple to figure it out in six years hopefully.

Me too! I have a new 16 pro iPhone and have trouble editing my photos. What’s up with that??? I make all of the adjustments then the message says it can’t make the changes and try again later. When is later?? I try later and get the same message… frustrating!
