Do you want to know how to edit photos on iPhone? The simplest way is to use the editing tools in the iPhone Photos app.

From one-tap edits to advanced color and exposure settings, you can enhance your images without leaving your photo library. In this tutorial by iphone photography school, you’ll discover how to edit pictures on iPhone using the built-in Photos app. Read on to discover how to turn your ordinary photos into stunning edits!

1. Ensure Your iPhone Is Updated To iOS 13
The built-in Photos app is one of the best photo editing apps for iPhone. And with iOS 13 (iOS is the iPhone operating system), you get a completely redesigned photo editor.

The new Photos app has a wider range of editing tools. And you can fine‑tune your edits with more precision than before. You can even edit videos using the same tools that you use to edit photos.

To ensure you have these new iPhone photo editor tools, make sure your iPhone is running the latest iOS 13.

To update your iPhone to iOS 13, open the Settings app from the Home screen. Then go to General > Software Update.

If your software is up to date with iOS 13, you’ll already have access to the new photo editing tools.

If your software isn’t up to date, follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the latest iOS 13. (Before doing this, it’s a good idea to back up the data on your iPhone – just in case something goes wrong during the update process!)

Note that if you have the iPhone 6 or earlier, you won’t be able to update to iOS 13. And therefore, you won’t have access to the new editing tools in the Photos app. You can still use the old editing tools though – you just won’t have as many tools to work with.

2. Duplicate Your Photo To Preserve The Original (Optional)
When you edit a photo in the Photos app, the original image gets replaced by the edited version.

However, editing in the Photos app is non-destructive. This means you can undo edits or revert back to the original image at any time.

But sometimes you might want to keep the original photo, along with a separate edited version. If so, you can easily duplicate the image before editing.

To duplicate an image, open it in the Photos app and tap the Share icon at the bottom left. Then scroll down and tap Duplicate.

So, how do you open the photo editing tools in the iPhone Photos app?

Just open the photo you want to edit, then tap Edit at the top right of the screen.
