Are you using Google Photos on iPad? Does the app halt whenever you initiate editing? If your answer to both questions is yes, then it’s worth knowing that Google has acknowledged that Photos app freezes while editing, and is working on the same.

Though the problem has not been reported by many, it has been officially acknowledged by the Photos team in reply to a user query on Twitter. The user in question faced the issue on his iPad Pro 10.5. He explained that editing initially slowed down the app, followed by the picture itself moving to editing position, which eventually froze the app.

The issue was reported on June 29, 2017. On 11th July, Google Photos addressed the complaining user by saying “We are aware of the issue and investigating”. So, it’s clear that app is freezing on iPad when it comes to performing editing operations.

If you are an iPad user and Photos app is bothering you as well, keep a tab here as we’ll be the first ones to update in case of any further development.
