Apple Intelligence features began showing up ever since the tech giant released the first public beta versions of iOS 18. Now, the iOS 18.1 beta 3 update has introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature namely Clean Up. The feature can remove objects and people from a photo. However, once you use the feature, the image begins showing a label. The label says that it has been edited with the help of AI. With this, Apple has joined the ranks of OpenAI, Meta, Google, and other firms that provide a similar label when one uses their AI models to edit an image.
Apple Adds Label for Images Edited With Clean Up
9to5Mac spotted the feature in the iOS 18.1 beta 3 update. Available within the Photos app when editing a photo, it appears in an eraser-style icon in the toolbar. This icon is placed at the bottom. The Cupertino-based tech giant showcased the feature at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
With the help of AI, the tool can detect and automatically remove unnecessary objects and people from a photo. The tool can also detect the shows of objects’ and reflections and remove them automatically. Users can also manually control the feature and remove objects and people.
The AI label is present on the photo’s exchangeable image file (EXIF) format. One can see this when they are using a computer or a special software that can read this data. This data is present when you share the photo using iMessage or AirDrop. However, the publication found that sharing the image via third-party messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram did not include the label in the photo.
The Apple Intelligence feature is only available in beta. Thus, it is possible that this oversight will not be there by the time Clean Up becomes available.
