Apple's latest iOS and iPadOS developer betas include an AI object removal tool for Photos

The latest iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 developer betas are here, and they include a few new Apple Intelligence features.

The idea is that you'll be able to remove background objects from your snaps without modifying the subject — even if the undesirable item overlaps the person you're focusing on. The tool is compatible with every image on your camera roll, including those you took with an earlier iPhone or iPad, or even a DSLR. There are several other Apple Intelligence features that the company has announced but is yet to start testing in developer betas, including image and emoji generation, priority notifications, in-app actions and personal context updates for Siri, availability for other languages and platforms and, of course, ChatGPT integration.
