Lift Feature Paste Question

So what is the point of the lift feature in photos if it doesn't remove the image, and you can't paste it in another photo?


I lifted an image out of a picture to a white background because I want to impose it on another picture, but that isn't possible. So what's the point of the feature if you can't do anything with the cutout once you lift it?

Hey there Lind-Z,


We also suggest reviewing the article that was provided earlier as it contains the answer to your question. Here's the link again just in case: Lift a subject from the photo background on iPhone To sum up the article:


  1. You can lift a subject from a photo to then copy to an email, text message, or note.
  2. You can also use this feature to choose a sharing option, such as AirDrop, Messages, or Mail.


As it was also recommended earlier, any product feedback you'd like to submit about your iPhone can be submitted to Apple using this link: Product Feedback


Cheers!

Hello Lind-Z,


We are technical support, we can't start to imagine the unique ways every user will use a specific feature.


While you might not be able to paste it into a Photo in your Photo Library, there are many other apps or documents you can paste it to.


You might like to watch some videos on the way people use this. There are many on Youtube, but you can start with the first tip here, which gives a pretty cool option and example:

Hello Lind-Z,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to use the feature that removes the background in an image in the way you want. Since this Apple resource on this feature (Lift a subject from the photo background on iPhone - Apple Support) doesn't mention this as part of what you can do with this feature, please Apple know you would like this option here:
