hey everyone welcome back this is Dan
from dhtv and today I have another
iPhone hack that's going to allow you to
remove the background from photos or
even pull specific items right out of a
photo let's get started
all right so we've got the iPhone 14 pro
here but this is going to work on pretty
much any iOS 16 device and I'm going to
be showing you how to remove the
background from your photos and also
pull specific items from those photos at
the same time the first thing you want
to do is open your photos app and you
want to just find a photo you want to
play with right now just to test it out
so for us let's just grab this one right
here so I've got an old Sony Walkman
here that's just sitting on a table now
if I wanted to grab say just that
Walkman pull that out of the photo or
even remove the background of this photo
I'm just going to tap on it and then I
can drag you're just tap hold and drag
now if you have a live photo set up with
this at the same time it is a little bit
tedious to do this but you can you also
notice sometimes you'll see a flash over
them especially if you don't have live
photo set up you'll see that flash kind
of go across and you can see it gives
you copy and some options here so if you
wanted to copy just that image share
just that image that you're grabbing you
can do that too but I'm going to show
you how to pull the background or remove
the background from your photo on your
iPhone first so you're going to tap and
you're just going to drag now what you
want to do with your other finger or
other hand you want to Tap Away
and you can go back at the top here to
your album let go and now it'll create a
photo there for you and when you tap on
it you have just what you chose in that
photo without any background behind it
so this is perfect if you do eBay or you
sell online you want to have that nice
white background this will always ensure
that you get that nice white clean
background while still maintaining the
item itself and you can obviously edit
this a little more so if you wanted to
straighten it out you could do that as
well
and it works exactly the same as any
other photo would now let's try this
with another photo here so we've got a
picture of my dog and he's just sitting
there now if I wanted to pull the dog
out here I can just tap and then drag
and see I can pull the dog and just go
along and use it any way I want now if I
wanted to use some of these options here
so if I wanted to share it I can tap
share it's going to pull up some share
options here I can open up my messages
and I can send this specific message
here without a background to this person
we'll just send it out it's going to
send it to myself and now when they open
it this is what they're seeing here
they're just going to tap I'm not sure
why in messages it automatically makes
the background look black but when you
tap on it the background goes back to
White and you can see that that's the
image now that I created and I was able
to share it over to my messages now at
the same time if we go back to photos
you can use a drag method here so you're
going to tap and then just drag and what
you're going to do is with your other
hand or other finger you're just going
to swipe up and you're just going to
find your messages so just tap messages
there and I can drag it right into my
messages like that and now I have it
there as well I can send it that way and
now you can see with that method the
black didn't appear behind the photo
either
so it might be a little bit better to do
it that way just to not have that in the
actual message here
now if we go back to photos one more
time here let's just go to a different
one this one actually is Portrait I
think I have one of them it's portrait
this one's portrait mode so portrait
mode it works as well you just tap and
you can drag away you can see that it
grabs the dog you can tap again here and
it's going to flash around the area that
it's going to cut from and you can copy
this as well that way you can paste it
over somewhere else so if you wanted to
copy that then maybe just open up your
notes and if you have a new note you can
just tap and paste the dog right in
there and it works that way as well this
one didn't come out the greatest with
the portrait you can see the bottom of
his mouth that's not the fault of this
tool that's actually the fault of the
portrait because it was a little bit
blurry on his teeth there but you'll be
able to pick and choose how your photos
are going to come out all right now
let's try one live here so I'm going to
actually put my hand on this phone like
this and I'm going to take a picture of
my hand with the iPhone right there
and now when we take a look at the
preview right here you can see my hand
is touching the phone now if I wanted to
grab the hand pointing at that specific
item in the phone I'm just going to tap
and then drag away so tap drag away and
you can see It'll grab the whole hand
and the phone because that's what's
touching so if there's multiple things
touching you'll be able to grab all of
them at the same time so you have to
play around to see how this works but
now I can take this just like I did
before I'm going to go back
I'm going to open up my photos app here
and drag it right into this section here
now I can take this photo for example
and I can upload that let's say using it
for my YouTube thumbnail and now it's a
little easier for me to make a
background without having the desk and
all that other stuff that was maybe
behind my photo right there so this is a
really cool sort of iPhone hack that
Apple didn't really make a big deal
about which was a little bit shocking
but it is there that's how you use it
like I said play around with it first so
that you can understand how it's going
to work with specific photos for example
if you have a lot of stuff in the photo
it's not going to be able to grab each
individual item but you can remove the
background this is great if you do eBay
or you sell online to have that nice
background and this is Apple's new
background removal tool or they're
magically isolation tool I don't even
know the exact name of it but it's how
you remove the background on your iPhone
photos the easiest way possible let me
