Apple stuffed previews of MacOS Ventura, iPadOS 16, WatchOS 9 and, of course, iOS 16 into its nearly 2-hour WWDC keynote. The next major version of iPhone software will include editable Messages and a customizable lock screen. But there was one feature that truly grabbed my attention Monday, despite taking up less than 15 seconds of the event. The feature doesn’t have a name, but here’s how it works: You tap and hold on a photo to remove the background. And if you keep holding your finger against the screen you can then lift the foreground « cutout » into another app to post or share. It seems similar to the way Portrait mode photos separate a person from their backdrop. Technically, the tap-and-hold 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.
