Hi Everyone,

 

Quick update here. I personally tested this on Photoshop for iPhone v7.3 (released recently), and I’m no longer able to reproduce the freeze/crash when tapping the Generative Fill prompt field.

 

Tested devices on my side:

• iPhone 15 Pro Max

• iPhone 16 Pro Max

• Both on the latest iOS (26.2)

The Generative Fill prompt entry is working normally now on both blank canvases and existing images.

 

If you’re still seeing the issue, could you please reply with:

• Your iPhone model

• Your iOS version

• Confirm the Photoshop app version (should be v7.3)

 

Best regards,

Anshul Saini

Is there a solution here? I have been having this issue for a while now and I'm a little upset I can't use any AI features after paying for the subscription...

Hey @StrangeTripStudios,

Thanks for reaching out! We’d love to help you out with this. To figure out what’s going on, could you share a bit more info? What version of the app and device OS are you using? Are you seeing any error messages? I’ve moved your post to discussions for now. Looking forward to your reply!

I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro Max with OS 26.1 and the latest version of the Adobe Photoshop app. No error message, it just freezes up

Hi @StrangeTripStudios, thanks for the context! Let's try a few things to see if it resolves the issue. 

1. Double check and make sure your iPhone to the latest iOS version and ensure Photoshop is fully updated.

2. Restart the device and confirm at least 5–10 GB of free storage.

3. Test Generative Fill on a small new canvas with a short prompt to rule out image size or complexity.

4. Switch to a strong Wi‑Fi connection and temporarily disable VPN or iCloud Private Relay if active.

5. Sign out and back into your Adobe account in the app.

 

If the issue persists, delete Photoshop, restart the phone, and reinstall the app. If it still freezes, share your exact steps, the prompt used, image dimensions, and a short screen recording so we can escalate. I hope this helps! ^CH
