Apple has released the iOS 18.1 beta 3 for developers, introducing a new Apple Intelligence feature: the AI-powered Clean Up tool. We’ve all experienced that frustrating moment when a photo is almost perfect, but there’s just one little thing ruining it. Whether it’s a photobomber or an unsightly object stealing the spotlight, Apple Intelligence is here to save the day.
iOS 18 Clean Up: 3 things it can do
The iOS 18 Clean Up tool, similar to Google’s Magic Eraser feature, is designed to enhance the overall quality of your photos by removing unwanted objects. Here are three key features:
1. Smart detection: The tool uses machine-learning models to accurately identify and isolate objects in your photos.
2. Object removal: After identifying the edges of the object, the tool intelligently removes it and fills in the gap, even handling shadows and reflections.
3. Subject recognition: The tool can differentiate between objects and people, ensuring that it won’t accidentally remove someone you want to keep in the photo.
Users can access the Clean Up tool in the Photos app, allowing them to easily remove unwanted objects from their images. Additionally, the iOS 18.1 update introduces notification summaries for all apps, expanding on the previous support for Mail and Messages.
Stay tuned for more AI-powered features from Apple Intelligence, but remember that this is still a beta version, so some rough edges may be present. Make sure to back up your iPhone before installing iOS 18.1 beta 3. The official release of iOS 18 is expected later this year, following the announcement of the iPhone 16 at Apple’s upcoming “Glowtime” event on September 9th.
