Basic Fixes:
Fix 1: Check if the Photo Is Supported by Photo Cutout
Besides the app you’re in, the photo or video should also be supported by the photo cutout tool before you can use it. Here’s a list of all the image and video formats supported by photo cutout:
If a photo or video has issues using photo cutout,tapon theblue ‘i’ buttonin thePhotosapp to see if the file’s format matches any of the above formats.
Furthermore, ensure that the image you’re trying to extract the cutout from has prominent borders that can separate the subject from the background.
Fix 2: Disable Live Photo
Live Photos can often prevent photo cutouts from working correctly on your iPhone. If the image you’re trying to extract the subject from is a Live Photo, you can try turning it off before using photo cutout on your iPhone to see if that helps.
Step 1:Open the Live Photo you want to use with photo cutout. Then, tap the button that saysLive. From the options that appear, tap onOffto disable Live Photo.
Step 2: Once done, try totap and holdontothe subject to see if Photo Cutouts is working or not.
Fix 3: Try Changing the iPhone Region
The photo cutout feature is an extension of Visual Look Up, a feature onlyavailable in certain locationsacross the globe, including the United States, UK, India, Japan, and a handful of other countries. If your region doesn’t support Visual Look Up, photo cutout won’t work.
If that’s the case with your iPhone, we recommend changing its region to the US and see if that helps enable the feature as detailed below:
Step 1:On your iPhone, navigate toSettings > General > Language & Region.
Step 2:Now, tap onRegion. Then, from the list of regions, select the United States or any other region that supports Visual Look Up.
Fix 4: Reset All Settings
If the previous solutions didn’t help solve your issues, you could reset all settings on your iPhone. This will help you rule out any issues caused due to changes that you might’ve made to your iPhone. To reset all settings on your iPhone, follow the steps listed below:
Step 1:On your iPhone, navigate toSettings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone.
Step 2:Next, tap onResetand select the ‘Reset All Settings‘ option.
If resetting all settings also doesn’t help, you cancompletely reset your iPhoneand see if it fixes the photo cutout on your iPhone.
