Being able to remove unwanted objects in a photo is one of the great successes of image-editing apps. With AI, this has become even easier, with the app doing all of the work. Even better, this can be done right there on a smartphone or tablet, without the need for separate apps.

Clean Up on an iPhone/iPad
On an iPhone/iPad, the AI Clean Up feature in the Photos app can be used to remove unwanted objects. To do this:
