Apple has released the iOS 18.1 beta 3 for developers, introducing an innovative feature: the AI-powered Clean Up tool. This advanced tool aims to enhance your photo editing experience by intelligently removing unwanted objects that detract from your images. Whether it’s an unwelcome photobomber or a distracting element, Apple Intelligence is set to enhance your visuals effortlessly.
Key Features of the iOS 18 Clean Up Tool:
-
Smart Detection: Utilizing multiple machine-learning models, the Clean Up tool can accurately identify and isolate undesirable objects in your photos.
-
Intelligent Filling: Once the unwanted object is detected, the tool seamlessly removes it and fills in the space, accounting for complex elements such as shadows and reflections.
- Preserving Important Subjects: The Clean Up feature knows when important subjects, like you or your friends, overlap with the targeted object, ensuring that your main focus remains undisturbed.
Users can access the Clean Up tool directly within the Photos app. By simply tapping or circling an unwanted object, the AI takes over to facilitate its removal. For detailed touch-ups, users can zoom in to address even the smallest blemishes.
Additionally, the iOS 18.1 update incorporates notification summaries that now aggregate notifications from all apps, expanding beyond just Mail and Messages.
As this update is still in beta, users are advised to back up their devices before installation. The stable version of iOS 18 is anticipated to launch later this year, following the unveiling of the iPhone 16 at Apple’s upcoming "Glowtime" event on September 9.
