How can I get 'Clean UP' feature on my iPhone 14 Pro Max?

I have an iphone 15 + ios 18 but I also don’t have that clean up feature.

My iPhone 14 Pro Max doesn’t have clean up in photos even though i have a iOS 18 updated.

"Clean Up" is a feature of the Apple Intelligence update coming later this year. It s not yet available for any device.

It will only come to iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, and iPhone 16 models when Apple Intelligence is released.

I'm going to repeat this since many folks here don't seem to read the responses-- maybe twice will work better:

I found this at AppleInsider

It's worth pointing out, however, that Apple Intelligence will only be available on devices with the A17 Pro or M-series chips. This means that the Clean Up tool will be available exclusively to users with an iPad or MacBook equipped with an M1 or newer chip, or an iPhone 15 Pro.

Apparently this takes way more computing power than those of us with older iPhones can muster. There are apps at the App Store, but they don't look to be cheap.

Apparently it’s not your phone is not powerful enough but Apple is greedy enough to not include it to any other phone. The amount of AI needed here is not more than needed for selecting object on a photo.

I recently purchased an iPhone 16 pro max. It's updated to iOS 18. Why don't I have Clean up?

As has been said:

I agree-- but it's good that they aren't limited to adding only functions that work on old machines! I have an iPhone 12, so your 14 seems new to me!

iPhone 14ProMax does automatic deep etching of photos and this uses more computing power than what is a very basic clean up tool. This is just another example of Apple stupidity trying to g to make a newer phone seem more desirable.

Hi Richard, I do not mean to be in any way disrespectful but I have been using computers since their inception for private use and in the graphic arts industry at the very start of all these programs and ideas. The notion that these phones so called older can not cope with a simple scrub and replace is just marketing nonsense, I should know I spent the best part of my career coming up with the spin. Also I was the seventh owner of a mobile phone in Australia so I am also very aware of the transition to smart devices and their capabilities. Any suggestion that a phone even back to iPhone 12 can’t cope with this feature is rubbish. Most sincerely, Steve

thought this feature is already available in 16 pro max. why is it already working for some users on the video on you tube?

Unknown. They are likely be running a beta version of iOS that has Apple Intelligence for developer testing.

Fact remains, it has not been released to the general public yet.
