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

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... 😠

WORK AROUND

6S+. All up to date. (Issue not limited to 6s+)

Photo cellular turned off - this seems to be the cause - started after I turned cellular off. Being on wifi does not matter. Have not tried turning cellular back on - uses too much data. Others report no correlation to photo cellular.

Problem: Photo edits would dissapear within 24 hours.

Work Around:

1) Save edited photo to a shared folder. Does not need to go to anyone.

2) Save photo from shared folder back to Camera Roll. I usually did this in just a couple of minutes, so I don't know if time maters.

3) Now there are two photos exactly the same in the Camera Roll. In less than 24 hours, the first photo will loose its edits, but both the photos in Shared and the shared-version-copied back to the Camera Roll will still have their edits, but no revert capability.

4) Clean up excess photos as desired.

Hi Sterling,

Any info/reply? I’ve lost the edits on thousands of my photos now...extremely frustrating...

Has this issue been resolved for anyone? I Am also having the same problem of Edits disappearing for over a month now.

Thanks!!

Same issue! What is going on? Any resolution yet?

Same problem, here. Getting ready to give up on iCloud, if not Apple altogether.

Same issue here! Getting so extremely annoyed about this! :-/

I’ll be selling all my Apple Stuff soon if this doesn’t get fixed a.s.a.p.

Exactly the same problem here! Anyone found a solution or contacted apple?

Tried all these but no luck!

Same with me 😕

I just wonder why we dont get any feedback from Apple…

Hi Sterling,

I'm also facing the same issue even though the iOS is upto date.

☹

I have tried your recommendations with no resolution? Can we move on to the advanced troubleshooting?

Thank you!

I just noticed the same issue today-in morning was still ok.all edits gone on 27k travel pictures- why apple dont respond? is it going to be fixed? If no-this is last apple.
