All photos saved on iPhone reverted back to original (filters removed) after iOS 11.3 update. Anyone knows how to fix?

Vivid was the default filter I use for camera. I have like 2000+ photos and all were reverted back to Original, even photo orientations were reset. This happened after I updated my iOS to 11.3. Anyone knows how to fix this without going through each photo and edit it one by one? TIA.

And I preordered this iPhone X, was 1st to get it.


This is top serious bug worth of 24h reaction/address or warranty money back. Cause loosing your edits on fotos data, is LOOSING YOUR DATA THEMSELFS, now its your fotos edits, tomorrow your text files reports month-long written.


This never happened on cells 30 years till now.


And Apple & nobody cares for months now, no official announcement. It should be No1 scandal on all newspapers.


And this is just the top of the Iceberg: iCloud since years has sync issues, uploaded files can take till hours to be available. Smells this bug its part of it.


Thats enough. If it goes on like this, I switch on Android ASAP, even in Camera the latest Huawei and Sony are much better.


Piety seeing Apple iOS turning to new Microsoft Windows successor.

They had me turn off iCloud. That was fix #2 of 4. Still all my edits disappear after varying amounts of time. Usually around 18-20 hours. I started calling Apple May 12, 2018 and have talked to at least 10 advisors. Yesterday alone I was on the phone over 50’ and spoke to three new advisors.The new guy wants me to totally clear my phone. Then restart and download pictures from the Cloud which I do not have my pics stored in the cloud!! I keep telling them to read this blog on their Apple Support app. They tell me they cannot access!! Everyone acts like I am the only one having this problem. I am so frustrated!!

Do not expect Apple to provide any support whatsoever. After two months of working with over 20 Apple support personnel they have finally referred me to a tech who was suppose to be an expert in photography. He was rude and not helpful at all. He wanted me to back up everything on my phone to the Cloud to include 6,000 pictures then clear my phone of everything. Then download from the Cloud. I do not use the Cloud, as do not have WiFi or computer. I am terrified to try this “fix” as I have had no success whatsoever with the previous FOUR “fixes”! I really am considering a lawsuit. I am monitoring this blog for that reason. When they acted like I was the only one with this problem I told them to check this blog. Believe it or not, they claim to not be able to access it.
