What you need
Steps
Open the Photos app and tap the picture you want to fix so it fills the screen.
Tap Edit in the top right corner to open the editing screen.
Find Clean Up in the editing tools. If you do not see it, tap the eraser icon or the Adjustments area to reveal more tools.
Wait a moment for Clean Up to load, then pinch to zoom in on the object or person you want gone.
Drag your finger over the object in small strokes. A highlighted area shows what will be removed.
Lift your finger and let the tool fill in the background. The object disappears in a second or two.
Tap the undo arrow and try again with shorter strokes if the patch looks smeared or leaves a blur.
Tap Done to save the edit. Your original photo stays available under Revert to Original.
Tips and common mistakes
Zoom in before you brush so you only cover the object and not the clean background around it.
Brush in several short passes instead of one long swipe for a smoother fill.
If Clean Up is missing, check that Apple Intelligence is switched on and the model has finished downloading.
Duplicate the photo first if you want to keep an untouched copy alongside the edited one.
Questions
Where is Clean Up in the iPhone Photos app?
It sits among the editing tools inside Photos, next to tools like Crop and Adjust. You may need to tap the eraser or Adjustments icon to bring it up.
Why is Clean Up not showing on my iPhone?
Clean Up needs a supported iPhone and Apple Intelligence turned on. On older models or with Apple Intelligence off, the tool will not appear in the editor.
Can I undo a Clean Up edit after saving?
Yes. Open the photo, tap Edit, then Revert to Original to go back to the unedited version.
