The instructions I've found to use my own photo as a background say essentially "Tap on Backgrounds, then select a background, or you can use your own photo...." But when I go to Backgrounds, there isn't an option to select anything besides the colored backgrounds that are there.
Could someone please provide the missing step(s)?
iPhone 11, iOS 17
The current user guide says nothing about using your own images:
Add and edit backgrounds in iMovie on iPhone – Apple Support (MY)
Unless you are talking about greenscreen:
Add video overlay effects in iMovie on iPhone – Apple Support (MY)
Put a photo in the timeline and use Picture in Picture to overlay your clip. You can adjust the size of the clip in PiP, making it a little smaller than the photo so that you can see the edges of the photo as background.
