Photos editing function

After the IOS update this morning, only the crop function is shown on PHOTOS. How can I back the full range of edit tools.5

Hi there

Please try this


Toggle the Tool Modes

When you tap Edit, iOS might default directly to the Crop tool tab. 


  • Look at the bottom of your screen (or the side if your phone is in landscape mode).
  • You will see icons for different modes: Adjust (three sliders or a dial icon), Filters (three overlapping circles), and Crop (the squaring arrow icon).
  • Tap the Adjust or Filters icon to switch away from the crop tool and bring back your exposure, brilliance, and color sliders.
