Google Pixel 2 - Photos App - Freezing Issues

[Android Central Question]

Hi. I am using the regular Google Pixel 2 and anytime I take a photo and try to edit it and then save it, the Photos app freezes up. This also happens when I try to edit video. I've had the device for about a month now and it's always done this. Anyone else experience this? Is there any solution?

Android version is 8.1.0.
