I Get Long Photo Processing Delays on My Samsung S24 FE—Can’t Access or Share Images

I’m using the Samsung S24 FE, and I’ve run into a serious issue with photo processing times. Yesterday around noon, I took several photos using the 50MP setting with smart optimization set to minimum. After that, the phone began applying automatic photo correction—and it hasn’t stopped since.

The processing takes hours, sometimes even longer. It's been over a full day, and some images are still unavailable. I can’t open them in the gallery, I can’t share them on WhatsApp, and restarting the phone doesn’t help either. These photos are simply stuck in a loop of endless "auto-correction."

This is completely unacceptable. A feature that’s supposed to improve photo quality is instead rendering my images unusable, and it's actively interfering with my daily use of the device. I should be able to view, edit, and share my pictures immediately, not wait hours or days.
