Apple's latest iOS update introduces AI photo magic removal function to delete unnecessary objects in photos with one click

Recently, Apple released the latest developer beta versions, including iOS18.1, iPadOS18.1 and macOS15.1Sequoia. In this update, Apple has introduced a series of new Apple Intelligence features, the most popular of which is the "AI elimination" function for photos, allowing users to easily remove unwanted objects from photos.

This "remove" function is very smart. Users can select the objects to be removed with just one click. The system will use AI technology to automatically generate the background to ensure that the overall effect of the photo is not affected. Apple says the system is not only able to identify shadows and reflections of deleted objects, but also efficiently handles these details to fill in the background.

In actual operation, users can select objects through the intelligent detection function, or directly use their fingers to circle or smear unwanted objects to delete them. In this way, the photos you take can become cleaner and perfectly show the picture you want.

Interestingly, Apple's new feature is quite similar to Google's "Magic Eraser" feature launched earlier this year. Google has already made this technology available to all Google Photos users, while Apple first launched this feature in the developer beta version of iOS 18.1. Although the Apple Intelligence feature is currently only available to English-speaking users in the United States, it undoubtedly brings more possibilities for image editing.

In addition, in July this year, Apple’s first batch of Apple Intelligence features also include writing tools, notification summaries for text messages and emails, natural language search, memory creation from photos, call and recording note transcription, and email summary and Smart reply function. The launch of these features will undoubtedly make the experience of using Apple devices more intelligent.

With this update, users will be able to process their photos in a more convenient way, and look forward to more innovations in AI technology from Apple in the future!
