2. You are allowed to the application; access all of your photos.
3. From your edited image use "watermark removal."
4. Mark out the unwanted elements that you would want to be deleted.

Picwand also comes in an online version so that you can edit pictures both on mobile and on the desktop.

Google Photos' Magic Eraser is another fantastic tool for deleting objects.

1. Download the app from the App Store and enable photo access.
2. Open your target photo and tap "Edit" at the bottom.
3. Under "Tools," select Magic Eraser. The app will automatically detect distractions and suggest objects to remove.
4. Tap "Erase All" or manually highlight areas to remove.

2. Tap "Start with Photo" to upload an image.
3. Select a removal tool. These are Remove Object, Magic Brush, Spot, or Line Removal. Some tools are only available with a Pro subscription.
4. Tap the checkmark to confirm edits and save your photo. You also have the option to send it directly to social networking sites like Instagram or Facebook.

How To Remove Objects on iOS 18

There's no built-in tool from iOS 16, but luckily, iOS 18 has the solution thanks to the Clean-Up for Photos app. Otherwise, if you have an older iOS, use apps like Picwand, Google Photos, or Pixomatic to delete unwanted elements from your image.

While the iPhone's editing features are pretty impressive, removing objects from a photo requires help from external applications.

These tools make it easy to erase distractions, ensuring your photos always look their best. With just a few taps, you can transform ordinary images into stunning masterpieces.
