Unable to Copy Image Subject from Safari/Photos

For reference, I’m using iPad Pro 2nd Generation with IOS17.4.1. I’d like to be able to copy the image subject from safari images into GoodNotes or even do the same thing from the photos app. Any feedback would be appreciated!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Presumably you refer to the iPadOS16/17 feature for automatically clipping a subject or object from an image.  The second generation iPad Pro does not support this feature.


Along with some other new elements of iPadOS functionality, this feature is not available for all models of iPad that support iPadOS 16/17 - as specific system hardware (CPU/SoC and RAM) capabilities are required.


This specific feature is available for these models of iPad:

  • iPad mini (5th generation and later)
  • iPad (9th generation and later)
  • iPad Air (3rd generation and later)
  • iPad Pro 11-inch (all generations)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later)


More information about this and other features can be found within the iPad User Guide - this being a direct link to the relevant page for this feature:
