How to remove a person from a photo on iPhone 13

The iPhone 13 is still a hugely popular phone — but it can't use Apple's Clean Up tool. Here's why, and the free way to remove people from your photos on iPhone 13.

Clean Up not available

The iPhone 13 can't use Apple's Clean Up tool.

The A15 chip doesn't support Apple Intelligence, so Clean Up won't appear in Photos. The iPhone 13 can install iOS 26, but that still doesn't add Clean Up — the feature depends on the chip, not the iOS version.

Remove a person on iPhone 13 with Removex

Removex runs perfectly on the iPhone 13 — it only needs iOS 17.6 or later. Tap the person; Removex detects the full outline, removes them, and reconstructs the background at full resolution. Because it's tuned for people, it manages large foreground subjects and selective removal in group shots that simpler erasers can't.

No Apple Intelligence needed. iPhone, iOS 17.6 or later.
