With iOS 16, Apple introduced a curious new feature that’s sort of like Instant Photoshop in that it lets you pull the subject out of any image or photo, paste it into another photo, or use it as a sticker in the Messages app. It’s sophisticated enough that we thought we’d feature it in our latest YouTube video.
Apple calls this feature Raise Theme from Background, and it’s part of the Visual Look Up suite of features. To use it, just long press on any image and then you can drag or copy it to another app.
It works in Photos, Screenshots, Quick Look, Safari and even Videos and is available on iPhone, iPad and Mac. It doesn’t have much practical use for it, but it’s certainly impressive and fun. Be sure to check out our video to see it in action.
