Steps
Open Photos and tap a picture. Use the star rating control to give it one to five stars, so you can sort favourites later.
Add keyword tags to a photo, such as a place or event name. Keywords make it easier to find pictures with a search.
Open a video, pause on the frame you want, then use the option to save that frame as a still photo.
Check the Captured By Me section to see photos taken on this iPhone, kept apart from saved or shared images.
Select several photos or open an album, then start a slideshow straight from that selection.
Use AI Clean Up on a photo to remove unwanted objects. Brush over the item and let the app fill in the background.
Try AI Extend to add more scene around the edges of a photo when the framing feels tight.
Use AI Reframe to change the shape of a photo, for example to a square or wide crop, without losing the subject.
Turn on immediate sync so edits and new photos appear on your other devices right away.
Use View Selected to show only the photos you have picked, which helps when comparing or sharing a set.
Tips and common mistakes
AI Clean Up and Extend work best on simple backgrounds, so zoom in and check the edges after each edit.
Keep an original copy of important photos before heavy AI edits, since changes can be hard to undo.
Star ratings and keywords only help if you use them consistently, so pick a simple system and stick to it.
Check that iCloud sync is on before relying on immediate sync across your devices.
Questions
Do I need an iCloud account for these features?
Most editing features work on the iPhone alone. Sync between devices needs iCloud Photos turned on.
Can I undo an AI edit in Photos?
Yes, open the edited photo and use Revert to go back to the original. Keep a copy if the photo matters.
Will older iPhones get these features?
It depends on which models support iOS 27. Check Apple's list of compatible devices before updating.
