Apple has added more Apple Intelligence features in its latest developer betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS 15.1, which include the ability to quickly and easily remove objects from photos using AI.
The feature, called Clean Up, lets users identify and remove objects from pictures without affecting the rest of the photo. Users can select an object using smart detection and remove it with just one tap. You can also draw a circle or brush over any unwanted objects to delete them from the image.
According to Apple, the feature uses AI to generate the background when you remove an object from an image. Apple said the system even understands shadows or reflections of objects and makes sure to remove them when filling in the background.
