How to get "Clean Up" feature for iPhone?

My understanding was that now in photos there is a new feature to remove objects from a photo and that it downloads automatically. It is called 'Clean Up'. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max with ios18 - how can I get this function?

Because it has not been released yet.


"Clean Up" is a feature of the Apple Intelligence update coming later this year. It s not yet available for any device.


It will only come to iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, and all iPhone 16 models when Apple Intelligence is released.

Hi Leonie, All you have stated is well known, however I am sorry to say it does not address the fact that “older” iPhones could easily handle the clean up feature. It is just a very simple case of Apple dictating redundancy solely based on the whole FOMO fenomenon to sell more product. Sadly the planet and personal economy’s can not continue to deal with a consume and dispose of society. Kind regards

Clean Up feature is only available on iPhone 15 pro, iPhone 15 pro max, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 pro, iPhone 16 pro max, iPad with m1 chip or higher and macs with m1 chip or higher.

You're location also has to be set in USA and language has to be set to English (US) same as voice assistant settings. Then you can activate Apple Inteligence in settings which will allow clean up feature on your device photos app.

I have and Iphone15 Pro. I have the clean up feature on my phone and have used it a few times. I have been trying to use it the past day or two and it says there's an error preparing the Clean Up feature. I just tried it again and it still does not work. I'v shut down my phone, updates are current. Any ideas?

I have the Apple iPhone 16 Max Pro when I was in England I had the erase tool function on pictures worked absolutely amazing. Loved it. Just can cut somebody out of the picture, but I've already taken.

Now I've got back to Germany in the EU. The application will no longer work. Is there any way to get around it?

I have an iPhone 14 max and was just using the clean up feature on photos. I took a break and went back to do another photo and the feature is gone. Why would this happen? I have no other party features added onto my phone and have read where this is only on 15s and above, but I was just using it. It worked great too! Any ideas?
