How to remove a person from a photo on iPhone 15
Surprisingly, the regular iPhone 15 can't use Apple's Clean Up tool — only the Pro models can. Here's why, and how to remove a person from your photos anyway.
The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus can't use Apple's Clean Up tool.
They use the A16 chip, which doesn't support Apple Intelligence — so Clean Up never appears in Photos, even after updating to iOS 26. Only the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have it.
Remove a person on iPhone 15 with Removex
Removex doesn't need Apple Intelligence — it runs on any iPhone with iOS 17.6 or later, which your iPhone 15 already has. Tap the person, and Removex detects the whole subject, removes them, and reconstructs the background at full resolution. It handles large, close-up subjects, and lets you keep some people in a group while removing others.
