Portrait mode pictures turn into regular pictures

Sorry, not sure what you mean when you indicate that you have to edit the photos to make them portrait. There is no edit that can do that since Portrait Mode has to do with depth of field, which is not something that you can create after the photo has been taken: Use Portrait mode on your iPhone - Apple Support

What is it that you are trying to do, exactly?

OK, I understand now.

Since I have not seen other posts regarding this issue, it doesn't sound like it is an iOS issue. I would recommend that you try resetting your device as follows:

Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.

Best,

Is perhaps iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iPhone? If yes, is the "Optimize Storage" option enabled?

Then the portrait effect originals may have been removed from the iPhone and replaced by optimized versions without depth map, if more space is needed.

I am having the same problem. Don’t know what is the reason.

Hey, were you able to figure out this issue. I am also facing the same problem. The portraits are turning into normal pics by over night !

I have also the same problem. Can someone help me.

This could be one of the reason but then why I should be manually changing back then to portrait mode? Also shouldn't this change from portrait to normal apply to older photos if it had to be done?

I started facing this issue all of sudden and not because of latest update. I'm using 7plus. I thought latest update might fix this and it didn't. Editing regular photos to portrait again is a very frustrating experience.

I am using an iphone 7plus and facing the same issue since a couple of weeks. Guess its an ios glitch that needs fixing. Hopefully a prompt update might help!

I’m having the same problem, really annoying. Is there already a fix for this?

Thanks.

Try turning off iCloud photo library, it could be connected to you having low iCloud storage.

Hi,

I still have 27gb free on my iCloud, so I don’t think it can be related to that.

I have been having this issue as well. I just got my iPhone X a few days ago and noticed the very next day that my portrait-mode photos were reverting to normal I chatted with Apple support and they told me to reset to factory settings, but nothing changed. I'm updating to the 11.4 software version now--has anyone had this issue with the new software update?

Let me know if this helps! I have been having the same issue and its driving me insane. I just got this phone a month ago and chose this one for the duel camera.
