Does anyone know why there is an error message after you try to save an edited photo on the iPhone 16 Pro Max? Ever since I updated to iOS 18.1, I’ve been receiving an error message when editing photos I take outdoors. The message reads: “There was an error in saving this photo. Please try again later.” Please advise, thank you.
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
I’m still unable to save some photos after editing. What do I do?
Yup - I have the same on my iPhone 16 pro. Was reading other users believe it’s an issue with the photographic styles feature. One workaround is to duplicate the image as a still image - but I still get the same error even with that!
sort it out Apple!
I have this same problem on a new 16 pro max
Does anyone have a solution for this?
I turned my phone off & on again and the problem persists. I didn’t update to 18, it’s a brand new phone and came w that software. Apple can you please chime in and help all of us out!
The issue isn’t resolved
i believe it makes a difference if you’re doing high data photos - HEIC raw, with styles etc
i cant even duplicate the photos
Yes, it looks like the issue has been resolved now. So far I’ve tested making edits to photos I’ve taken indoors. Now I have to test the edit option when I take photos outdoors, because it seems like I was able to make edits as soon as I took the photo outdoors, but if I waited a while, then decided to make edits to an outdoor photo at a later time, the error message would pop up too. I understand now, because when you hike deep into the woods connection can get lost sometimes. Thank you for the update. 😊
Ok, so there are a few variables here. For me personally if I switch off WiFi and mobile data when outside and take landscape photos, they save to the phone and can be edited on the phone there and then without issue. When back on WiFi the images upload to the cloud.
However if data is on when outside and you have the new photo styles on, and the connection maybe be limited - there is a lot of data to be uploaded to the cloud where the edits / saves would occur.
This occasionally means the image is ‘stuck’ between the cloud and the device so any edit / save cannot complete.
Usually when back on WiFi - and a reboot of the phone - will resolve the issue. There are also some reported work-arounds where you can create a copy of the image and work on that. The copy being on the iPhone.
I haven’t had any issues since my reported one above.
Just as an update - this issue has resolved itself.
May have been due to iCloud not refreshing fast enough - so the image was caught between the cloud and the device and changes couldn't be saved?
It's working as expected now - either way.
Were they photos taken outside, with the save issue?
Same issue here on 16 plus
For me, yes mostly outside.
Turn your phone off and back on if you did the 18.0 update
