## Photos Reviews in United States

### **--- "I can choose when to blur."
Wow, so Apple AI can decide when my photos need to be blurred? My own personal photos. Tried to use the clean up tool to remove blemishes and it usually works perfectly and I absolutely love the clean up feature. Well, apparently, Apple has decided to remove this and instead BLUR the area highlighted. They apparently are doing this when photos are deemed “inappropriate” by their own Apple “intelligence.” And there is no way to remove it. Such a waste of money if you pay for the extra storage and then can’t even edit your own photos. AI should stay out of the decision making of my own personal photos.
-- Kaitlin Darlin, 2025-08-30

### *---- "STOP PLEASE"
this app likes to make things called “ movies “ where they grab random pictures of you and put them in a video without permission plus they sometimes put unnecessary images and videos like i took i picture of me pointing at nothing so i can design something but guess what….. THEY PUT THE PICTURE IN THERE! like literally what are you guys thinking?! They are like “ awww hes cute when he points lets put him in the video without permission! “ please remove this feature its creepy and it feels like i am being stalked
-- najahahnshahahahuwuwuw, 2025-08-30

### *---- "Air drop from phone to Mac!"
Why on god’s green earth can you airdrop videos/photos from phone to phone and the content is immediately available in the photos app. Yet when you airdrop from phone to Mac it always goes to the files app unless you plug in usb-c or just wait for I cloud to sync when it wants. This is the most absurd quirk they need to figure out.
-- dgshaw2025, 2025-08-30

### **--- "Glitch"
I keep having a problems where I can’t delete photos. I delete them and they just instantly pop back up with no reason what so ever and my storage is full
-- Lutoozy, 2025-08-29

### *---- "Hateit"
Useless and more useless with each updates
-- Wiseman6643, 2025-08-29

### ***-- "Won’t work"
Please fix the bugs I’m unable to even open my photo app at all.
-- DarcieBarcie, 2025-08-28

### **--- "plan to save storage"
One thing from the menu, I found myself not liking about this app now whenever I take a new picture it duplicates photos I’ve deleted from
-- Keilam cook, 2025-08-27

### *---- "iOS 18.0 Update, iOS 17 and before is still better"
Still looks bad. Never once heard a good review about the new layout. I can’t stand not being able to save my place in an Album or in my All Photos section or even the Search Option when I switch between them. Now everything is one section and if you scroll wrong, you close the Album and have to reopen and search all over again. Also crashes a lot more often than it used to.
-- MelodySweetSpirit, 2025-08-27

### *---- "Error?"
I am trying to save markups but I keep getting error message…😭😭😭
-- 2.nightowl, 2025-08-27

### *---- "Just awful"
There’s too many things wrong with this app to put here, I’d need to publish a book for that. But maybe I’ll just add to this review over time. The first thing that is so dumb is that under the “People” category, don’t expect to see every picture that the app tags as that person there. The app will curate that section so that you see a fraction of the tags images. And there’s no toggle to change that. I know, there are smart albums and other ways to get all the images to show, but only in other places. Not under the “people” section, where it would be the most obvious place to have it.
I’ll come back here for other issues later.
-- 96!!, 2025-08-26

### *---- "No folders at the top of the screen."
Why can’t I add a folder to the top of the screen so I can organize my photos?
-- JRxxxULTRA, 2025-08-25

### ***** "Diqdtmxkud"
Khmeitmxugduu
-- Hkjiltkjcdjjxbkjj, 2025-08-24

### **--- "Got worse after this update.."
I don’t know why they would take away our transparent backgrounds..every single photo I had like that is now completely filled in.
-- Wanting a problem fixed!, 2025-08-23

### *---- "Photo crop"
The last update changed to crop feature and it no longer works to make a square crop! It’s not possible to make a crop at all, actually!! Please change it back!
-- Duckin33, 2025-08-23

### ***** "Seven year old girl"
Heya! Just wanted to let you know that I’m in love with this app. (I know, my mom and dad are in love) but I LOVE this app even MORE! Thanks!

Love,
Margot Robbie (real name)
-- Margot (real name), 2025-08-23

### *---- "Blind Chicks View"
Guess y'all don't think the blind needs access to Photos software! Why else changed the whole usage of the app to basically be useless to the blind?
App locks up after every task like sharing & deleting having to close the app after every move. The lineup of photos have became confusing not knowing what photo I'm on in lineup. 
Go back to how it was before Christmas!
With every update it's even more impossible to work with! Go back to the basic or make all the forced sorting !
-- WytchOfDixie, 2025-08-22

### *---- "No face shown"
I should be able to manually add people whose faces aren’t shown or aren’t recognized to their album. Just cause their head is turned doesn’t mean it’s not them. I get that ai isn’t going to know but I should be able to go in and fix it myself. It’s incredibly frustrating to have to scroll or think of something related to search for it. It’s such a BASIC thing to add I really don’t understand why you wouldn’t???
-- Verse1600, 2025-08-21

### *---- "App suddenly auto-adjusting my cropping during edits"
I’m getting really frustrated with this. When I drag the boarder of the cropping triangle by one specific side and carefully choose where to let it go, THAT’S WHERE I WANT THE CROP TO TAKE PLACE. I do NOT like whatever  is going on now, where I very carefully crop my photos exactly where I like them so they can be the right size as soon as I import them to my editing or painting software for projects. If I put the line cutting right across, for instance, the middle of someone’s hand? I DON’T want the crop to adjust itself wider to include the rest of that hand. 

I could see it making sense to auto-crop for the likeliest effect people are going for if they make the crop and tap done as fast as their fingers can move. But it genuinely is a bridge too far to take the very extremely basic crop function and force an action that I not only didn’t want, but that directly counteracts my action. Sometimes I’m literally moving that line back to the correct spot I initially intended THREE TIMES FOR ONE SIDE.
-- WolverineIsAlive, 2025-08-21

### ***-- "Duplicating screenshots"
For the last few months the app has been duplicating screenshots and it’s taking up double storage! Can we please find a way to fix this.
-- ForgetMeNot82, 2025-08-20

### **--- "Double photos?"
Why am  I unable to save photos to an album only? Why does it not remove the photo from the main library causing twice the storage?
-- DiamondRust, 2025-08-20
