Apple has released the new developer betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS 15.1 Sequoia. With this update, the company is introducing new Apple Intelligence features, including the ability to remove objects from photos.

The Clean Up feature allows users to identify and remove objects in a photo without affecting the image. The system uses artificial intelligence to generate a background when you remove an object from an image. Apple said the system even detects shadows or reflections from an object and takes them into account when filling in the background.

The smart detection feature allows users to select an object and remove it with just a tap. Additionally, users can circle or brush over unwanted objects to erase them from the image.

Earlier this year, Apple’s competitor Google made a similar feature called “Magic Eraser” available to all Google Photos users free of charge.

In July, Apple introduced the first set of Apple Intelligence features with the beta version of iOS 18.1. These features included writing tools, notification summaries for SMS and Mail, natural language search and reminder creation in Photos, transcription for calls and voice recordings in Notes, and summaries and smart replies in Mail. Apple Intelligence is only available to English-language users whose region is set to the US.
