Just been playing around with the app and found the same problem But :

if you select an image then double tap on the 3 lines below the centre and the click on the crop button it will bring up the icon second in from top left !

This will allow you to rotate the image !

it’s gonna turn into trial and error and everybody’s got to relearn the menus but edit is still around. It just doesn’t say edit. What I found is under the three lines.

How do you mean that, bascoconnie?

Tapping the 3 lines does not put you into edit mode?

Tapping the circle with three dots does not offer the Extensions option?

The Extensions list does not offer the app you wanted?

Something else?

Tillster ~ It's not clear what mode you're in when tapping the 3 dots. If you've simply opened a photo and tapped the 3 dots, you need to go a step further into Adjust mode:

Tap a photo or video to open it, then tap 

...then tap the 3 dots at the top.

But if you still don't see the Extensions option, post back with a screenshot.

It is true that after the iOS 18 Apple made everything unnecessarily complicated for the Apple Community. They should have at least the decency of sending us an email or some thing explaining how to navigate through this “edit” function disappearing..!!!

Anyhow… here again is what I find out so far, after lots of clicking everywhere 🤦‍♀️ :

The edit function is there, under the 3 lines at the bottom of the screen on our Photos.

Click on the picture to edit

Double click on the 3 lines. An small inverse YELLOW triangle 🔻(sorry, we don’t have in yellow on our emojis) but anyhow is Yellow and it will show on top of the 3 lines.

Then :

A lock 🔒 will show on the right top corner of the screen

Click on the lock 🔒 and be at the lookout for “APPERANCE RATIO UNLOCKED “ (be aware that it will disappear very quickly 🤷‍♀️ you might need to try a few times to get the hang of it) ..

After all this unnecessary steps comparing to our prior and super easy “edit” button , you should be able to edit your pics again. Hope this helps . I’m trying to attach some pictures..!! If I can’t on this post .. I’ll try on the next one .

Regards my fellow apple 🍏 users 🙋‍♀️

If you click on the three line go up markup. There is some tools there.
