How to remove a person from a photo on iPhone 12
The iPhone 12 can't use Apple's Clean Up tool — but you can still remove people from your photos easily. Here's how.
Clean Up not available
The iPhone 12 can't use Apple's Clean Up tool.
Its A14 chip doesn't support Apple Intelligence, so Clean Up never appears in Photos. No iOS update adds it, because the feature depends on the chip.
