Hello Campeóndelmundo,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with using the cut out feature on your iPhone. You would need iOS 16 or later to use it as described here: Create and share photo cutouts on your iPhone
"In iOS 16 and later, you can isolate the subject of a photo — like a person or a building — from the rest of the photo and then copy or share it.
Separate the subject of your photo from the background and then share it
- Open a photo in the Photos app or in apps like Messages or Safari.
- Touch and hold the subject of the photo. A shiny white outline might appear.
- Let go to reveal options like Copy and Share in the Photos app or Copy Subject in Safari.
Once you copy the subject of a photo, you can share it through apps like Messages or Mail or use AirDrop. You can also copy and paste it in other apps like Notes.
Photo cutouts are available in iOS 16 and later on iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and later."
Does your iPhone need updating to iOS 16.2? Do you have a recent backup for the data in your iPhone in iCloud or your computer? If not, we recommend that you create one as described here: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Then update your iOS as outlined here: Update your iPhone or iPad
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
