Can't edit or share my iPhone photos

Hey how are you I just wanna say your p

This was really helpful as I have only just begun having this problem on my iPhone 7 plus with the latest iOS.

At least I have a work around now even if it is a pain!

Thank you.

You are absolutely right: Apple is not anymore a symbol of perfectly finished products.

We have even given them the key, in this case, to solve the bug: it’s due to the fast taking picture.

Hi, did you get your photos back? I just did the same thing..

Greetings, StoicTheGeek .

After reviewing your post, it appears that the photos you take with the Camera and Photos applications on your iPhone aren't behaving as expected. When you view the photo through either application, it's replaced by a gray box and you're unable to edit or share them. I'm happy help you with this.

Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- First, force close the Camera and/or Photos application(s) if it's/they're open, then Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- Either view the previous photo or take another photo once you're back to the Home screen and test.

How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch -- If restarting your phone didn't resolve the issue, please be sure to have a fresh backup to keep your personal information safe. In order to back up your Health data, the backup needs to be encrypted. iCloud does this automatically, but iTunes doesn't. If you'd like to use iTunes to back up your phone, refer to this article: About encrypted backups in iTunes

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- Even though the title of the article isn't specific to your issue, the section titled "Put your device in recovery mode and set it up again" will walk you through all the steps to reinstall the iOS software on your device. Test the issue once your phone has returned to the Home screen.

Let me know how that goes and take care!

I have the same this issue.

I'm using iPhone X/11.2.5

3 days ago, my camera phone was still working OK.

I try restart iphone, the first time atfer started it working OK, but then after some minutes this problem has happen.

Now, i cannot use my camera phone in my work.

If you use iCloud Photo Library and Optimize IPhone Storage option, it might be a problem with your cloud library. I would recommend getting on the phone with Apple Support and getting them to transfer you to a Photos app specialist. They can have someone examine your iCloud Photo Library as there might be something in the cloud clogging up the memory/bandwidth, which can take about a week.

I did it a few weeks ago and everything seems to be working perfectly again—no longer having problems with editing/sharing photos.

Until this is fixed I’m getting around it by taking a screenshot which is then able to be edited.

Hope this helps.
