Error when saving edited photos

When I edit a photo eg add text using Markup option I am unable to save the changes.

“Unable to save changes. An error occurred while saving. Try again later”


The same error occurs on my iPad Pro 3rd gen. and iPhone Xs Max both using iOS 14.1


I have rebooted both devices but no joy.


Thanks for any help.

There is known bug in iPadOS14 that affects saving of markup documents/photos. There is a workaround until it’s fixed; simply trim/resize the image before saving.


I hope this insight proves to be helpful.

Hi,


I had the same issue on my iPhone 8, ios version 14.1. I needed to do a markup on my photo which was a screenshot.


I kept getting the message „Unable to save changes“. So I found a workaround and was able to make it work, by first clicking on the „auto“ feature, then doing the markup and highlighting my text in red.


I hope it works for you guys too.


Cheers,

Silvy
