No edit button on photos after software update

I have looked at previous messages but I don’t have the extensions option from the 3 dots dropdown list so what do I do? I only updated because it was meant to give me AI access to be able to erase any unwanted objects or people from photos easily via Edit>clean up. No edit button so how do I do this now?

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 18

The edit button has been moved - it is now below the photo, when you view it enlarged.
