This is such a quick and easy way to remove the background from a photo using only your iphone! No apps needed!

  1. Go to your photo album and select the relevant photo.
  2. Hold your thumb down on the part of the photo that you want to stay, this may take a couple of tries but you should see a flash of light around the outline of the photo selection.

3. A bubble will appear with the options copy or share — select share and then select save image.

4. Now make your way back to your photo album and you will see that the last image will be your original picture without the background 🎉 It may not be perfect but it does a great job!
