IOS 18 Bug Causes Unsaved Photo Results

IOS 18 bug blocks photo storage (photo: dock. Apple)

JAKARTA A number of iOS 18 users are facing bugs that interfere with the photo storage process. Reportedly, this problem is not only experienced by iPhone 16 users but also old version of mobile phone users.

According to a How to Geek report, when users want to save edited images, they will get a message that reads, "There was an error while saving this photo. Try again later." This problem appears when editing in the default application.

Before the error message appears, the edited app interface in the Photo app will stall. Some phones may freeze due to this problem. The only way to get out of this problem is to click the Cancel button.

If you click the Cancel button in the pop-up error message, the edited photo will be automatically wasted. This problem will occur when iOS 18 users change photos using filters, Photography Style, Artificial Intelligence-based cleaning (AI), and so on.

Images stored as Live Photos will also be affected. Some users can overcome the problem of damage to edited photos by duplicating damaged images. However, this problem has no impact on photos with Live Photos or Photography Style.

Surprisingly, this problem also occurs in older versions of iOS, such as iOS 17 and iOS 16 although not as many as iOS 18. In online forums, the frequency of complaints about this problem is more common in devices that use the latest iOS.

Apple is aware of this issue and is looking for ways to fix the problem, according to MacRumors. Most likely, improvements to this issue will be released on iOS 18.3 or on iOS 18.2 as emergency point updates.
