Apple's New 'Clean Up' Feature Removes Objects from Photos
Apple has rolled out a new feature called 'Clean Up' in its Photos app, designed to remove unwanted objects from images. This feature, available on select devices, is set to stir competition in smartphone photography.
The 'Clean Up' feature works by simply tapping on the object you wish to remove. It's demonstrated to effectively eliminate reflections of the photographer from an image. This new tool allows users to identify and remove distracting background elements without compromising the main subject.
To use 'Clean Up', you'll need specific hardware. It's compatible with iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, iPads with A17 Pro or M1, and newer Macs with M1 or later processors. Software-wise, it requires at least iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, or macOS Sequoia 15.1.
Apple's introduction of 'Clean Up' could have significant implications for the competition. Other manufacturers are expected to develop similar features, responding to Apple's integration of artificial intelligence into everyday applications. Companies like those behind Photo Cleaner, Delete: Reclean, and AI Clean have already developed photo cleanup features focusing on removing duplicates and unwanted images using AI and smart sorting tools.
The 'Clean Up' feature is a notable addition to Apple's Photos app, offering users a convenient way to enhance their images. With its hardware and software requirements, it's available to a wide range of Apple users. As competitors respond with similar features, the landscape of smartphone photography continues to evolve, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence.
