Apple’s Photos app is getting new AI editing features
Key takeaways
- Apple announced at WWDC 2026 on Monday that its Photos app is getting a few new AI features that leverage Apple Intelligence.
- A new spatial Reframe feature will let users use AI to reframe images.
- Users can touch and drag photos to adjust the perspective as if they had repositioned the camera in the original scene.
Why this matters: a development in AI with implications for how people work, create, and decide.
Apple announced at WWDC 2026 on Monday that its Photos app is getting a few new AI features that leverage Apple Intelligence.
A new spatial Reframe feature will let users use AI to reframe images. For instance, if a user accidentally capture a sign above someone’s head, if the photo would have been more symmetrical by stepping slightly to the right, or if eye contact with a subject was missed by a fraction of a second, the new reframing tool can help fix all of these issues.
Users can touch and drag photos to adjust the perspective as if they had repositioned the camera in the original scene. Users can also preview the effect in real-time. As the photo is being adjusted, a blur will appear around the edges of the original image, which will be filled later by Apple s generative models.
