Missing edit option on the Photos app on iPhone 11

My edit option is missing when selecting the 3 dots. I can no longer crop my photos. Not sure what IPhone did.

I don't remember Edit ever being accessed with the "More" (•••) menu, but that's not where Edit is located, now. Follow Phil0124's directions to find the edit options.


Some pictures, for instance some that were transferred to the phone or which come from messages, emails, or web sites, may not be available for editing and cropping. For those pictures, you can use Share

to "Save to Files." Then you can go to the Files app and use Share to get "Save" the picture back to Photos, and then the new version will be editable.


Does that work for you?
