The styles option does not appear when I attempt to edit a photo in the photos app after iOS 18.0.1 update

Same here. HEIF, no Raw, iOS 18.1.1

Had to restart iPhone to make it work. It just stopped working by itself. Never changed any settings.

Please fix Apple 🙏

Hi, so check your photo album and select any photo. Once you’re viewing it, click on the “i” icon which stands for information in the middle. Check the details of the photo - does it say fusion camera or ultra wide camera? If it’s defaulted at fusion camera, this is why the photographic styles feature is off. Go back to your camera and in the viewpoint, you’ll see the numbers: 0.5x, 1x and 2x. These are your lens size. Switch it back to 0.5x. Take a photo. Now check and see if you can edit your photos using the preset photographic styles feature. Hope this helps!!!

I was having the same issue when I first received my 16 Pro Max. I don't know that it was the same problem, but even after all of my settings were correct, I still have issues with some photos, but not all. Apparently, at least for me, I could not see or use styles on photos taken prior to my upgrading my phone. I'm not sure if it was because the were pre-upgrade only or if they were not taken using the correct settings and can't be converted post-upgrade. Make sure your settings are correct and then take several photos (of anything) and see if styles work. If not, you are having a different issue.

I had to make a restart of the iphone 16 pro. Then styles were available post-shoot.

High effiency

Pro raw active in setting. Disabled when i shoot

thats it. Restart.

ios 18.1.1

Did you get it figured out? I tried all these things too. The only thing that finally worked was going under settings..then camera…then hit photographic styles..then go thru the tutorial. Then it worked with all these pictures I took after. Don’t know why this happened. I was able to edit styles after taking a picture after doing this. It just happened today. I did what I said above and it finally works.

iOS 18.1.1 was released 3 days ago. It contains bug fixes and security updates. Have you installed it yet?

I believe that simply powering off your phone and turning it back on brings back the Photographic Style option to your photos. At least it did for me

had the same problem I just restart my phone that’s it

Again, I have an older camera that doesn't do styles, so I have no experience with this. But Apple's documentation, even from several operating systems back, refers to Styles as an in-Camera effect:

you can apply a Photographic Style that customizes how Camera captures photos.

There's no mention of Styles being in the Photos app.

I was shooting HEIF. I didn’t modify anything from the stock settings. I just opened camera, shot some pictures and I found out that I cannot use styles in these specific ones (which are also HEIF). In the pictures that I shot after restart I can use styles.

I went to Settings ^ Camera ^ preserve settings ^ depth control. Set it OFF. If you took pictures on portrait it’s not gonna work but it will for any future image youll capture.

hope it works for you too.

To resolve this issue, you can try one of the following options:

1. Restart your iPhone: Power it off and turn it back on.

2. Force restart your iPhone:

• Quickly press and release the Volume Up button.

• Quickly press and release the Volume Down button.

• Press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears, then release it.

I had the same problem, and it was fixed using this method. Let us know if it works for you!

That’s the first I heard of this. Try quitting Photos app and reopening it. Does styles return?

Did anyone find an official/permanent fix for this? I was able to restore the option to edit styles after resetting my phone, but I don’t want to have to do this every time the edit option disappears 🫠🫠

You have to go to camera in settings, click photography styles and out you phone on high efficiency.
