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

The styles option does not appear when I attempt to edit a photo in the photos app. I have a 16 pro max with the latest iOS update 18.0.1.

I do still show the filters, but not styles. What do I do?

I had the same issue. High Efficiency checked and style appears in Camera, but not in Photos.

Here is what fixed for me:

Go to Settings, and

  1. Go to Settings / Camera / Format and confirm that you have a check next to High Efficiency. Take a photo.
  2. Go back to Settings / Camera / Format and check Most Compatible. Take a photo
  3. Go back to Settings / Camera, and re-select High Efficiency. Take a photo. The Photos App will now show the Styles option in the Edit mode.


Unchecking and re-selecting the High Efficiency mode appears to reset it, and the Styles edit function in Photos.

Hope this works for you.

Hello. Did someone found the explanation or the solution for the photographic style error? Mine stopped working all of a sudden and I haven’t done any change in the photo settings. It’s like the phone doesn’t recognize that the photos are made with this phone, because for example, when I enter in the camera settings and go to photographic styles and I have to choose 4 photos in order to set the undertones, I don’t see there the last photos only the ones before, for which I can edit potohgrapohic styles. But the last one it doesn’t work. Also when I take a picture, although the photographic style appears in the camera, after you take the picture, the style disappears.

I am having the exact same problem. The filter option does not show up in the photos app. Instead, the photo app has the filters option. To be clear, the styles option does show up and works in the camera app, but just not the photos app after taken photos. So, I can't edit filters after the picture as been taken. Need to fix this immediately. Very disappointed.
