iPhone 16 Pro photographic styles can't be edited after photo taken BUG

[bluedoggiant]

Oh, right, no, I have my photographic style set to the default. So that may be the difference.

Are you saying that if you remove your default setting and put it to factory default, then your issue does not appear?

I have not tested what you’re describing on your second line, my default is set to Amber. I wonder if that would indeed fix it but ultimately thats a work around to a feature not functioning properly.

I had the same issue: High Efficiency was enabled, and the Style option was visible in the Camera app but missing in Photos. Here’s what worked for me:


1. Open Settings > Camera > Format. Make sure “High Efficiency” is selected. Take a photo
2. Switch to “Most Compatible.” Take another photo.
3. Go back and re-select “High Efficiency.” Take a final photo.

This resets the Style function so that the Photos app will show the Styles option in Edit mode. Hope this helps!

I’ll have to give this a try, the senior apple specialist suggested something similar but to no avail. Where’d you hear this from and for how long did this fix the issue before returning?

Sorry I wasn't clear. Rebooting fixed it on new photos, but not on the old ones that don't have styles available for editing. Nothing that I've found fixes the ones that are hosed.

I see, I’ve not noticed a difference in the randomness of photographic styles working after a reboot.


My call with the senior photos specialist at Apple went well, they’ve acknowledged there’s an issue and they said they have not heard this one yet. They had me send them a host of files and “enhanced” system data and we will have a meeting in the new year where the  engineers will do live data logging on my device as I take photos to see if they can figure it out. Hope this results in a resolution. While I have their ear I’ll bring up another pair of unacceptable iPhone 16 Pro camera bugs I’ve experienced.

Apple has confirmed the bug and they are actively working on a fix.

I also took the time to bring up 3 other Camera/Photos app bugs specific to the iPhone 16.

We’ll see what happens.

Since the last update I haven't had any problem with styles. They've been available on every picture.

Interesting, I’ll have to update ASAP on my iPhone because I guess it’s camera-level. With my iPad with the latest update, historical photos don’t seem to suddenly have the Styles tab.

Update, the latest update has not solved this for me

Yeah... after taking lots of pictures where it worked just fine... today it stopped working again for no discernible reason between one picture and the next of the same subject. A reboot appears to have brought it back. But I'm very disappointed. I actually had hope for a minute there.

Majority of my photos still do not have editable photographic styles. Pathetic
