Apple’s new iOS 18 developer beta contains an artificial intelligence (AI) feature called Clean Up, which uses machine learning wizardry to remove elements from your photos and tidy them up. If you think that sounds a lot like Google's Magic Eraser, you'd be right – but some early test-runs show that iPhones are still playing catchup with their Pixel rivals.
To use the Clean Up feature, you need to have downloaded iOS 18.1 beta 3 onto your iPhone. Once that’s done, open the Photos app, pick a picture and start editing it, whereupon you’ll see a new Clean Up button. The feature suggests elements that could be removed from the picture, or you can draw over an object with your finger and Clean Up will get to work.
