Hi Judy663,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.


In the Photos app , you can isolate the subject of a photo from the photo background, and then copy or share it in other documents and apps.


When you have a free moment, check out the link below to learn more about this feature.


Lift a subject from the photo background on iPhone


1) Open a photo.

2) Touch and briefly hold the subject of the photo. When it’s outlined, do one of the following:

*Tap Copy, then paste the subject into an email, text message, note, or post.

*Tap Share, then choose a sharing option, such as AirDrop, Messages, or Mail.

*Drag it into an email, text message, or note.

A photo is open in full screen. The subject in the center of the photo is outlined and the Copy and Share buttons appear above the outlined subject.


Please do not hesitate to reach back out to us if you have questions or need any additional support.  


Cheers!
