iOS 15.2.1 Camera app photos slow to go into Photos app

iPhone XS, iOS 15.2.1

Take a photo or screen shot.

Takes a long time (minutes if not hours) for the photo to show up in Photos app.

In Camera, I can tap the Photos at bottom left and they are there.

When they do appear in Photos, if I attempt to edit, it displays “Loading” for minutes.

It's really bad.

In Photos app, sometimes takes a couple minutes to have the photos come into focus.

If I select Edit, takes minutes ( if ever) to get there.

Sometimes it displays Loading... across the photo.

Sometimes all the controls are grayed out.


I take a screenshot or a photo, it may or may not actually go not the photo album.

In the Camera app, I can tap the Photo at bottom left and delete a photo I just took. l close the Camera app, reopen it, tap the Photos at bottom left and the photo is there again. Sometimes.

It may to may not show up when I open the Photos app by itself.

I took a couple of videos.

They show up in the Camera app but when I attempt to view them, no controls (or grayed to controls). I can see the preview at bottom but I just get the waiting/spinning circle.


I can't even post a photo as it won't save the photos/screenshots.
