How to use Apple Intelligence to express yourself creatively on iPhone

With Apple Intelligence, you can use intelligent photo editing tools, create original images and Genmoji, create custom memory movies with a description, and more to power your creativity. Clean Up, Extend, and Reframe let you keep working on a photo after you take it, and Image Playground produces fun, original images in moments.

Note: Apple Intelligence on iOS 27 or later is available on an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or iPhone 16 model or later. Apple Intelligence is not available in all languages or regions. Usage limits may apply.*

The buttons for Clean Up, Extend, and Reframe are displayed below a photo.

Make your photos frame-worthy

You can remove distracting objects, extend a photo beyond its original frame, and adjust its perspective. With Clean Up, Extend, and Reframe, a photo doesn’t have to be finished once you take it. Open a photo in the Photos app, then tap the Edit button to get started.
