If you’ve ever taken a nearly perfect photo and then noticed a random person or some object ruining the shot, this is exactly what I fix in this tutorial. In this video, I show you how to use the Cleanup tool to remove unwanted people or objects from photos on iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. It’s a straightforward process: open your photo in the gallery, tap the three lines at the bottom to open the editor, enable Cleanup, and then brush over whatever you want gone. I also point out something important: Cleanup isn’t only for iPhone 17 models. You can also get it on iPhone 16 Pro and 15 Pro devices. And if you’re on a supported phone but the Cleanup tool isn’t showing up, it’s usually because Apple Intelligence isn’t enabled—Cleanup only appears when that’s turned on. I run through a couple examples (like removing a bench, a trash can, and people on a beach), and I’m honest about the results: sometimes it’s not perfect up close, but once you zoom out, you often won’t notice it at all. If Cleanup isn’t available on your device, I mention an alternate method I cover in another step-by-step tutorial that works on basically any iPhone model.
