Apple has unveiled a cutting-edge feature called “Clean Up” in its latest developer betas for iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, as reported by Engadget. This AI-powered tool allows users to effortlessly remove unwanted objects from their photos with just a single tap. Whether it’s photobombers, trash cans, or other distractions, Clean Up intelligently detects and removes these elements, generating realistic backgrounds that make the edited images appear natural and cohesive.
Cybernews highlights that Clean Up’s AI technology offers precise control, enabling users to draw a circle or brush over the objects they wish to eliminate. The system effectively handles shadows and reflections, ensuring that the removal process integrates seamlessly into the rest of the image.
Apple’s AI capabilities are not limited to photo editing. According to Techcrunch, the new update also introduces a range of AI features, including improved writing tools, smarter notification summaries, and natural language search in the Photos app. Additionally, AI-powered transcription for calls and voice recordings in the Notes app, and smart replies in the Mail app, enhance the overall user experience.
Currently, Apple Intelligence features are only available in English and for users in the U.S., with no information on when these features will be expanded to other languages or regions. As Apple continues to advance its AI technologies, users can expect more intuitive and efficient interactions with their devices.
