Apple has brought a new set of AI editing tools to the Photos app in iOS 27, aiming to make advanced edits simple enough for anyone.
Spatial Reframing
Spatial Reframing lets you change how a picture is framed after you have taken it. Tap the Reframe button and you can adjust the composition of a shot, which is handy when a photo was almost perfect but not quite.
Upgraded Clean Up
Clean Up, which removes distracting objects and people from the background, has been improved in this release, delivering tidier results with less effort.
Organizing Your Library
Editing is not the only improvement. The new Selection View lets you review and change metadata, such as location, across multiple images in one go. Photos also supports keywords and star ratings, which is great for people with large libraries. Apple says new photos load in your library up to 70 percent faster.
Transparency Around AI Images
With iOS 27.2, Apple added SynthID watermarking in Photos and Image Playground to help people identify whether an image was created or altered with generative tools.
Together, these changes make Photos both more powerful and more responsible about AI-generated content.
