If you are facing an issue such as “Couldn’t fill the image, try again” while editing the photo in the editor with Generative edit, then you need to consider several things into account.

Make sure, the Generative AI feature is being enabled for the Photo Editor on your phone. It is not enabled by default on your phone for many tools including the Photo Editor. So, consider enabling it manually.

  • Open the “Settings” on your phone.
  • Tap “Advanced features” and then “Advanced Intelligence”.
  • Tap “Photo Editor” and then enable the “Generative edit”.

Moreover, if you are using the no-root firewall on your smartphone, it might block certain services and applications including the photo Editor and Samsung account. As a result, you might face issues with the Generative AI features.

Therefore deactivate the firewall or at least allow “Samsung account” and “Photo Editor” in the firewall settings.

Check the Internet Connection

Generative AI requires an active internet connection to work. So, If you are connected to an unstable internet connection, then it might not operate properly and often responds with errors.

Make sure, you are connected to a stable internet connection whether it be a WiFi network or a Mobile network.
