iPhone owners complain of frustrating iOS 18 issue making it impossible to edit their photos
A NEW bug in the Photos app on iPhone is preventing users from editing their snaps, users have claimed.
Users have reportedly been experiencing the issue since downloading the iOS 18 update.
Once users have edited their photo inside the app, they are unable to save it,Mac Rumorsfirst reported.
Instead, they are met with the following message: “There was an error saving this photo. Please try again later.”
Edits cannot be saved half-way, and so tapping “Cancel” is the only way to get out of the editing interface.
This, however, means the edits are lost in the ether.

Many of the affected users have a new iPhone 16 model, according to the report.
Although, other iPhones have been affected as well.
According to Mac Rumors, the bug is impacting every version of iOS 18.
The bug has been around since September, though it is not very widespread.
It’s unclear what’s causing the problem, as not every user – or even every photo – is affected.

It could be linked to Live Photos, Mac Rumors suggested, or it could be an issue with iCloud Photos.
Several users are unable to edit all the photos from a specific day, which suggests the bug lies in photo capture or saving.
Is there a fix?
While Apple is aware of the bug, there appears to be no official fix yet.
But there is a way around it.
According to Mac Rumors, duplicating a bugged image with a “still photo” allows the edits to be saved.
Although it’s important to note that this will remove Live Photo and Photographic Styles.
