Markup changes to photos not saving on iPhone or iPad

So if I take a picture and edit it before it saves I can do markup and then save the photo.


if I edit a picture from my photos app on either the iPad or either iPhone and go to markup and make any changes it won’t save the picture.


I get and error message. Unable to Save Changes.


Suggestions?


thanks in advance

Yeah! 🎉

Updating to iPadOS 14.2 fixed this bug.


(This should probably be the correct answer to the issue, ... or if you can't update: the workaround by cropping first)

Have you read all the comments above? I had the edit-save problem but iPadOS 14.2 resolved it.


Just tested again on: edit an existing photo, screen capture and immediately edit prior to saving, and take a new photo, edit, before saving. In all three scenarios, the edit-save error issue is fixed.


It might be time to call Apple Support or schedule a visit to your local Apple store. (Verify you have a successful backup before visiting.)

I heard more from Apple support. This is the reply from senior support and engineering:


I wanted to give you an update that I received information from our engineering team. This is a behavior that we have received multiple reports of and is currently under investigation, be sure to stay up to date on your software as the behavior will likely be addressed in a future iOS update, when an update is released please install it and if the behavior persists please let me know.
