iOS 13 Photos app crash

Hello!

I’ve just updated my iPhone 8 Plus to iOS 13 and I’m experiencing a very nasty issue when I’m scrolling fast through my photo library or I’m pressing at the top of the screen, for instantly scrolling to the oldest photo. I have approximately 13.000 photos and videos and the app just crashes and closes, showing the home screen.

Has anyone experienced this?

Thank you!

iPhone 8 Plus

I upgraded my iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 13 and I had the identical problem. When I scroll too fast the photo app crashes. If I scroll slowly I can make it through all of my 18,000 photos without it crashing, but once I start scrolling fast the photo app just crashes. Once I received my iPhone 11 Pro Max I tried out the photos app and the exact same problem occurs. Hopefully Apple will correct this in their iOS 13.1 release.

iOS 13 photos app on iPhone XS now dating 90% of photos as 16 August 2018 (46000) photos on phone. The photos with locations and dates dating from 2005 have been correct over 4 iPhones and three Macs for years now.


Completely mixed up dates, lost 95% of locations and yes it crashes the app if I scroll too fast. Completely screwed up my library

Yes, it’s true that it doesn’t happen when you go to all photos section and you scroll up or press on top to instantly scroll to the first picture, BUT it does crash if you try to do it backwards - scroll down really fast (swiping up). Give it a go 😀

Thank you for your responses, at least we know that it’s a general problem and hopefully it will be solved on 13.1

I have the same issue. Contacted Apple support about it. They were like yeah, it's a known problem. The fix isn't there yet, hopefully soon..... i still have a little hope of the fix coming with 13.1 but since they told me last Saturday the fix isn't developed yet I wouldn't really get my hopes up. The most hilarious I found the guy advising me to check my photos on a laptop until the fix is released. Wait what?
