I downloaded ios18 and now have no edit button on my photos in the gallery when I touch a photo. How do I get it back so I can use third party editing apps?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18
In iOS 18 Photos, the edit button is the right icon in the cluster of three in the middle at the bottom, below the row of thumbnails. The icon looks like three sliders (three horizontal lines with a circle on each). Do you not see that icon?

bascoconnie, you are looking at the bottom of the screen. Look at the top right of the screen after tapping the three lines. Look for and tap the circle with three dots to get a drop-down menu:
Use the "Extensions" entry in the drop-down menu to get the list of third-party apps you have that are able to edit with the current Photos app.
No guarantee that any specific older app will still work, of course. They have to use the Extension interface these days. PS Express works, for example.
Yes, I see the three sliders. That lets me edit using the default option. I don’t have an Edit button.
I used to be able to press edit and then choose from my third party editing apps to edit my photos. I don’t see how to access my third party apps.
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?
OK, guys, edit is sort of still around. The three lines, tap that, and it does appear down there where you can crop the picture, flip it, You can still put Text on a picture so agreed Tap on the three lines at the bottom. I left a crappy reply, saying I couldn’t find it and after reviewing again, I did find edit. It just doesn’t say edit. Three lines click there
I am having the same issue. Following your instructions there is no "Extension" to pick.
that is it! Edit function is no where to be found.

What do you get when you tap the edit icon?
Which, by the way, is supposed to make you think of editing tools, like this
Once you are in the edit mode, tap the circle-with-three-dots in the upper right corner and select Extensions to get the list of third-party apps you have that are able to edit with the current Photos app.
No guarantee that any specific older app will still work, of course. They have the use the Extension interface these days. PS Express works, for example.
Got it!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
I see the 3 lines but no edit.
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.

Probably looking at markwmsn's picture with the giant arrow pointing at the edit menu was a big help in finding it.

This is what happens when I hit the 3 lines. No edit
Edit button missing on my photos in iPhone post iOS 18 update
