New iOS 26 Glitch Is Breaking Photos Shared From Android Phones: Here's What You Need to Know
The Photos app on iOS 26 misinterprets color profiles in Android images causing a red tint when zoomed, but a simple Edit -> Revert fix restores original colors.
- On December 15, 2025, users reported some photos from Android phones show a strong red tint when opened and zoomed in the iPhone Photos app on iOS 26.
- Technical observers point to Photos app color profiles misreading Android images, with some speculation that HDR processing causes the red tint recently seen in iOS 26.
- Use Edit → Revert action in Photos to fix the affected image by removing the red filter; the workaround restores original colors but is unintuitive.
- While not widespread, the bug affects some users but causes no data loss; affected users should fix photos before sharing and avoid device resets or gallery wipes.
- Users link the behavior to a minor iOS 26.1 update that reportedly persists after the iOS 26.2 update, with mixed reproduction results on Samsung and Motorola photos but not from a Pixel 8 Pro tester.
