What does this Watermark option actually do? With a photo open, I select it, then it opens up my entire photo library. I then selected a logo that was in my library. The original photo “flashed” and then nothing appeared to be different.
Does anyone know what this actually is supposed to do?

It’s a feature Apple added for people who want to overlay another image as a watermark, like a logo. You pick an image from your library and it’s supposed to stamp it onto the photo, but there’s no controls for size, position, or opacity, and half the time it just silently fails like you saw.
That “flash” is basically it trying and giving up. It only really works in very specific cases. If you actually need watermarks, third party apps do it way better.

Thank you for the answer, and confirming that I’m not losing my mind. My expectations were exactly what you stated.. It’s the failure that was making me scratch my head.
ill just be hopeful that Apple will make this actually work down the road. It would be super useful!
