iPhone users now have a Pixel-like AI editing feature

iOS 18.1 will bring the Apple Intelligence features to select iPhone models and the new iPhone 16 series later this year.

Apple is planning to bring its Artificial Intelligence (AI) features with the iOS 18.1 version in the coming months and with the beta version already out, people are getting a closer look at what it offers. Apple has introduced its own version of Google’s Magic Editor AI feature that helps with photo editing in a new avatar and it is called Clean Up.

You can use this feature to remove unwanted items or subjects from an image after clicking it. Apple is also bringing the AI feature into its Photos app for iPhone users

iPhone Clean Up AI Features: How It Works

iOS 18.1 beta gives you a clear look at the new AI editing feature that promises to remove distractions. For instance, if you have a pole or an unwanted person in a photo, use the Photos app and Clean Up will get the job done. To remove the object you just have to click on the Clean Up icon and then circle the subject that you want the AI feature to remove and make sure the clean up is nice and tidy and you don’t notice any editing done to the image.

The Clean Up feature is available to iOS 18.1 beta 3 version but only for those with the iPhone 15 Pro or higher models in the US for now. You can also try out with the macOS beta and iPadOS beta versions running on the M1 Macs or iPads.

Google introduced the Magic Editor with the Pixel series a few years back and this year’s Pixel 9 series gets more Gemini AI-powered features that take it closer to the upcoming iPhone 16 lineup that will support AI features with the iOS 18.1 update coming out in October.
