New Apple AI-Powered Photo Tool Can Erase People and Objects from Pictures: iOS 18 Update
IPHONE owners are set to gain a new AI-powered photo editing tool that can wipe people and objects from photos as if they were never there.
Apple Intelligence – the iPhone maker’s new AI system – is bringing a raft of new features to iPhones and iPads in iOS 18.
Introducing Clean Up: Apple’s Magic Eraser Equivalent
The new photo tool is called Clean Up – which is essentially Apple’s version of Google’s Magic Eraser. The Clean Up tool can remove photo bombers, and elements that make the image less aesthetically pleasing.
Exciting Features of Apple’s New AI Boost
It’s going to make Siri more like ChatGPT – much to Elon Musk’s dismay – and create custom emoji, with a tool called Genmoji. The new AI boost will also pave the way for a new photo tool called Clean Up – which is Apple’s version of Google’s Magic Eraser.
How Clean Up Works
Once iPhone owners have snapped a picture, they can open up the Photos app, click on the pic and then circle or highlight the person or object they want to remove. The Clean Up tool can remove photo bombers, and elements that make the image less aesthetically pleasing. AI will then come in and make that edit unnoticeable – although sometimes these edits can look slightly obvious.
The Official Word from Tim Cook
Here’s what Apple CEO Tim Cook had to say about Apple Intelligence… “We’re thrilled to introduce a new chapter in Apple innovation,” Tim explained. “Apple Intelligence will transform what users can do with our products — and what our products can do for our users. Our unique approach combines generative AI with a user’s personal context to deliver truly helpful intelligence. And it can access that information in a completely private and secure way to help users do the things that matter most to them. “This is AI as only Apple can deliver it, and we can’t wait for users to experience what it can do.”
Siri Photo Boost with iOS 18
A smarter Siri will offer another photo boost to iPhone owners. The voice assistant turned AI bot will be able to take hundreds actions inside apps on your behalf. One example Apple gave was finding photos for you based on voice requests. You can say something like ‘Show me my photos of Stacey in New York wearing her pink coat’ – and Siri will find it.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the new Clean Up tool and enhanced Siri features are set to revolutionize the way iPhone users interact with their devices, making photo editing and organization more seamless and intuitive than ever before. With Apple’s commitment to innovation and cutting-edge technology, users can expect even more exciting updates and features in the future.
