On Sept. 7, Apple will hold its annual fall event where we expect the iPhone 14 to be announced. We should also learn when iOS 16 will officially be released. Apple’s iOS 16 brings a lot of new features to the iPhone, including editable Messages and a customizable lock screen. But the feature that truly grabbed my attention during WWDC 2022 is all about photography, despite taking up less than 15 seconds of the event.
The feature hasn’t been given a name, but here’s how it works: You tap and hold on a photo to separate a picture’s subject, like a person, from the background. And if you keep holding, you can then “lift” the cutout from the photo and drag it into another app to post, share or make a collage, for example.
Technically, the tap-and-lift photo feature is part of Visual Lookup, which was first launched with iOS 15 and can recognize objects in your photos such as plants, food, landmarks and even pets.
