Drag and drop photos from Photos to Calendar app fails sometimes on iOS

Sometimes, I could directly drag and drop images from Photos app to Calendar app to automatically create calenda note with my image as an attachments file just fine but sometimes it doesn’t.


Yesterday, I was unable to drag and drop photos from the Photos app directly. (When I can’t use this feature, I switch to use save photo to File app then drag-drop from File app to Calenda method instead.) However, today the feature started working again without any issues.


Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known bug, or could a temporary system glitch?


Device: IOS 27 /13 pro max

Another thing is that before IOS27, drag drop still work when I drag photo into the attachment file menu in edit page and it will show up the green plus sign. Sadly it’s gone, now the new one is inconsistent.

I have the same issue, used to be so easy, hope they add that features back



I used to use this all the time, so sad it’s gone :(
