What is the markeup pixel/object eraser in iOS supposed to do?

In the latest iOS I wanted to blur or erase some peoples' names in a screenshot. I did edit, then chose markup, then chose the eraser. There was a choice between pixel or object eraser. I tried both, but neither had any effect at all on the image. How is it supposed to work?


iPhone X, iOS 13

Thanks. Is there an annotation tool which can be used to blur content on the original photo?

Hello Doug Lerner2,


Thanks for the reply!


Markup does not include a blur effect that you can use in photos.


For something like that, I recommend checking out the App Store on your device and choose an app of the many that can offer the feature you are looking for.


Have a great day!

Hello Doug Lerner2,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities!


I see from your post that you that you're wondering how the eraser feature works when using Markup on your iPhone.


The erase button in Markup allows you to erase any objects like a speech bubble or any drawings you do on the picture.


Check out the article, Use Markup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch for more information on how these tools are used.


I hope this information helps you!


Cheers.
