How do I disable spatial scene from all my photos permanently ? It automatically turns it on for the pictures that I have in my gallery, even those that were taken with my previous android phone. I don’t want it to do that to my pictures and even when I disable it from a specific photo, after a bit it turns it back on.
iPhone 13, iOS 26
With thanks to Apple support I have found the answer. Firstly turn off the spacial settings switch in Settings/photos as indicated above. If you still have spacial photos showing in the photo widget then do the following: long press on the photo widget then select edit photos. You will see a switch to turn spacial effects off. Hope this helps.

Not sure why it would turn back on but you also need to turn it off in the photo widget separately. Just hold down on the photo widget and you will see the spatial slider.

Turning that off works for me. iOS 26.2
Did you try to switch off the "Control for Creating Spacial Photos" in the settings for Photos on your iPhone?
Hi there. I’ve gone through this thread can can’t seem to find the answer. Is there a way to switch off the special scenes effect for all photos - old and new? It’s automatically applied on most of my photos since iOS update 😔
I did! The effect was still on, the only difference is that the button to turn it off disappeared.
I'm brand new to iPhone so please give me the beginers guide to "How to remove the Spatial widget - it's just spolied a perfectly good camera!

Tank you Richard!
That was sooo annoying.
Well, the spatial thing is kind of fascinating-- but I only want it when I want it…
Permanently disable spatial scene from Photos
