Edits on photos in iPhone, disappear and photos are reversed to original

i have edited 1000 photos in my iPhone, using all the settings: crop, rotate, brighten etc.

when I woke up the next morning all the edits were undone.


I turned off cellular data for photos and tried editing a few more photos... but the edits disappeared again the next morning.


is it the optimize setting? I just turned this off as I see photos was attempting to upload to iCloud.

All - Honestly, I could not wait anymore and called Apple to see what’s going on and if they had a suggestion. The rep on the phone (2nd level support) confirmed that it is a known issue and he had 5 open cases where folks were waiting on the resolution. He asked me with confidence to upgrade to V 11.4.1 and that would resolve the issue. I did upgrade and the issue is gone on my phone. All my edits stay now...

I just got the new iPhone 10Xs. I have updated my iOS to 12.01. I am only noticing this problem on Portrait Pictures that are Black & White using contoured lighting. My color photos seem fine but the B&W ones don't preserve the filter. I even tried taking a screenshot and that reverses the filter as well! Such a bummer. Hoping this problem gets fixed soon but apparently, Apple has gone radio silent on this thread... 😠
