How can I get 'Clean UP' feature on my iPhone 14 Pro Max?

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?

If you look at the link posted by IdrisSeabright, you can see clearly, which iPhone models are able to support Apple Intelligence:

  • iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max; any iPad with A17 Pro or M1 and later; Mac with M1 or later
  • iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, or macOS Sequoia 15.1
  • Device language and Siri language set to a supported language
  • 4 GB of storage1


You need at least an iPhone 15 Pro (Max) to use Apple Intelligence on an iPhone.

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

léonie doesn't address that because they have no control over it.

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.
