- Open the Photos app on your iPhone.

Why Don't I Have Effect Suggestions in My Photos?
If your Photos app is open and you're on the For You tab but you've looked through it and can't find Effect Suggestions, check that your iPhone software is updated to iOS 14 or later.
- If you're not running a version of iOS 14, update your iOS to the most current version and check the For You tab again when that's complete.
- If your software is up to date and you're still not seeing a section called Effect Suggestions, you may not have any suggestions to view. Next time you take photos of scenery or action, check back!
