Photoshop on iPhone: Limitations on text layers editing Photoshop PSDC from cloud?

Explorer ,
Oct 01, 2025 Oct 01, 2025

Just installed the new Photoshop app for iPhone. Loaded an existing PSDC from the cloud created by desktop Photoshop 26.11.0. Select a text layer, tap layer properties, and Text Options and Edit Text are grayed out. The rest of the icons are useable (Blend, etc.). If I create a new file with a simple plain text layer, I can edit text on iPhone, no problem. So... there's something in the properties of the text layer I created by desktop Photoshop that's stopping Photoshop on iPhone from being able to edit the text. I can't figure out what is stopping it from being editable.  No effects, no grouping, I right clicked the layer and selected "clear layer style", that didn't help. But some text layers are editable in the same file, layers that have bevel/stroke/glow styles set. This really puts a crimp in any workflow from desktop to iPhone if I can't even edit text in all my text layers. Any idea what it is? It's not a font issue... layer font is available on iPhone... I also checked on PS on web, everything works fine, text

Hey @esassaman, 

Can you share a screenshot of the file open and its layers? Is the text layer in question a smart object?

Sure @CMass . Nothing private here, it's the text layer with blue text in it in the center. The layer with "LIVE" above that is editable on iPhone. I don't know what it is about that "Band Members" layer that's causing it to be non-editable on iPhone. I can share the cloud file with you if that would help. In general is there a known list of layer properties or settings that cause this problem, if this is not a bug?Screenshot_1.jpg

Hey, @esassaman. Thanks for sharing the details. Could you share the sample PSD, or move the Type layers to a new document and share that with us? Please upload the file to any cloud file-sharing platform and share the link with me in direct message from my profile. 

 

Thanks!
