People are just noticing mind-blowing iPhone photo trick

YOUR iPhone can perform a seriously clever photo trick that you’ve probably missed.

It’s not very obvious, but it’s easy enough to do once you’ve mastered it.

If you’ve had iOS 16 for a while, you’ve probably heard about the background removal trick.

This lets you pull out the subject of an iPhone photo and isolate it – so you could send it on as a sticker.

But there’s an extension of this trick that lets you quickly remove the background from multiple images at once.

This can save you loads of time, especially if you’ve got loads of “sticker”-style images you want to create.

The feature was revealed by TikTok tech whiz @letsdodiz, in a post that’s earned more than 10,000 likes.

Here’s how it works…

How to remove the background on multiple iPhone photos

First, make sure you’re running iOS 16 or later.

To do that, go into Settings > General > Software Update, and install any iOS updates.

If you can’t get iOS 16 then it’s possible that your iPhone is simply too old to install it.

Once you’re on iOS 16, go to the default Photos app on your iPhone.

Now select the photos that you’d like to remove the background from.

Then tap Share (the arrow icon in the corner) and then choose Save To Files.

Save it as a new folder and give it whatever name you like.

Then choose Save and Done once you’re happy with the name.

Now leave Photos and launch Apple’s official Files app.

Find the folder you just created and then open it.

Now tap the three dots in the top-right corner, and then choose select.

Select all of the files in the folder, and then tap the three dots in the bottom-right corner.

Now tap Remove Background.

You’ll now find that the background has been removed from all of the files in the folder.

This gives you cut-outs of the subjects of each photo, which you can share wherever you like.
