Hi
To clear things up — no, Apple and Samsung products are not “against” each other in the sense that they block one another’s files on purpose. The issue you saw is more about file format compatibility, not rivalry.
Here’s what likely happened:
1. 📱 iPhone 16 Pro Max photos are usually saved in HEIF/HEIC format, which some Android phones (like your A56) can’t always edit properly — especially if the file came directly from an iPhone without conversion.
That’s why your phone said: “Error! File not supported.”
2. 📸 Galaxy S25+ photos, on the other hand, use formats fully supported by Samsung phones (like JPEG or HEIF optimized for Galaxy devices).
So when you edited that one, it said: “Edit successful!”
âś… In short:
It’s not Samsung vs Apple — it’s just how each brand uses different image formats and processing systems.
If you want to edit iPhone photos on your Galaxy A56, just convert the photo to JPEG first — that’ll fix the “File not supported” error instantly.
