The Tap and Lift function on the iPhone is another random fun find for me. I don’t pretend to be well-versed in anything technical, so for me to use this tells you it is easy.
I use an iPhone 13 Pro with IOS 16.1
When I first discovered Tap and Lift, I wasn’t sure what I could use for. It was cool just the same.
There are plenty of tutorials out there. I will keep it simple, and easy as promised.
- In your iPhone gallery, hold your finger on a photo until it begins to move.
2. When you let go, you will be directed to save it or share it. I usually text it to myself.
3. Save the new copy to your gallery.
While I was playing with it, I learned sometimes it is nice to get rid of the background noise, even with favorite photos.



It doesn’t always work. Anything claiming to be easy, often has hiccups. I enjoyed the black background with the sunflower anyway.



With autumn in full bloom, I thought I would try leaves. I might add you also don’t get to choose your outline, but easy is easy.



And finally, I thought of a use for the Tap and Lift.
Maybe a Christmas card?

very cool Donna, hadn’t heard of this and it looks great. Your Christmas card idea is definitely a winner (oy, Christmas already?!?!?!))

I am TRYING to be ahead. This was actually a card from a few years ago. But it was a great example and got me thinking about what I should do for this year.

Ha! So THAT’S what tap and lift is for! I accidentally lift sometimes, but didn’t know you could do something with it. Thanks for the info! GREAT photos, btw. Well done.

Very cool! I tried doing it on my phone and can’t do it… yet. lol.
I also am running iOS 15.6.1. As soon as Apple decides I need the new update I shall install and then will try this.
Have you tried iPhone Photography Academy on You Tube? I just learned more features when using the shutter… it’s all pretty cool!
