Vivid filter missing in iPhone 17 camera

Re: "iPhone 17 camera: why is the vivid filter not available in iPhone 17"

Apple Support's online article for iOS 26: Edit photos and videos on iPhone - Apple Support

Eg: says:

Apply filter effects to change the tint of a photo or video.

Note: On iPhone 16 models or later, use Photographic Styles with your iPhone camera instead of filters to give your photos a customized look. Filter effects are available on these models if you haven’t turned on Photographic Styles.

1. Go to the Photos app  on your iPhone.
2. Open a photo or video, then tap .
3. Tap  to apply filter effects such as Vivid or Dramatic.
4. To remove a filter that was applied when you took the photo, tap Original.
5. Tap a filter, then drag the slider to adjust the effect.
6. To compare the edited photo to the original, tap the photo.
7. Tap Done to save your edits, or if you don’t like your changes, tap Cancel, then tap Discard Changes.

There's an earlier discussion thread on a similar topic that has some interesting tips:

iPhone 16 Plus - Missing Vivid Filter - Apple Community

Eg: léonie says:

"To make the photos more vivid, you could increase the Vibrance and the Brilliance in the Adjustments for the photo.

Once you have found the right combination of adjustments to recreate the lost "Vivid" effect, you can copy and paste this adjustment to other photos. Keep an adjusted photo as a template in an album, where you can easily access it to lift and stamp the adjustments. See the paragraph "Copy and paste edits to multiple photos" in the user guide: Edit photos and videos on iPhone - Apple Support )

"Copy and paste edits to multiple photos

You can copy the edits you made to one photo (or video) and paste them onto another photo, or a batch or photos, all at the same time.

1. Go to the Photos app  on your iPhone.
2. Open the photo or video that contains the edits you want to copy.
3. Tap , then tap Copy Edits.
4. Review and turn off any edits you don’t want to copy, then tap Copy.
5. Tap  to return to your library.
6. Tap Select, then tap the thumbnails of the photos you want to paste the edits onto, or open a single photo or video.
7. Tap , then tap Paste Edits.

Note: Photos automatically adjusts the white balance and exposure of the edited photos to create a better match and make the photos look even more similar."
