How to Get iOS 18’s Clean Up Feature on Older iPhones

Table of Contents

Apple has been busy introducing new features centered on AI. Recently, the iOS 18 Developer Beta received a new AI feature called Clean Up.

What is iPhone’s Clean Up Feature?

iPhone’s Clean Up is a feature of the Photos app that allows you to remove any object or person from your pictures.

This feature can help you eliminate unwanted photobombs from your pictures. It is powered by AI and effectively scans your picture to detect the subject and objects that you may want to remove.

However, the only disappointment is that since it’s part of Apple Intelligence, it will only be available to supported iPhones like the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the upcoming iPhone 16 series.

Can You Get iPhone’s Clean Up Feature on Non-Supported iPhone?

If you don’t have the iPhone 15 series, you won’t be able to use the AI Powered Clean Up feature on the Apple Photos app.

The only way to remove unwanted items from your pictures is to use an alternative to Apple’s Clean Up tool.
