The feature we are talking about allows users to select the subject of an image (the object/person in the foreground) and paste it into an entirely different photo to create hilarious images. Think about the possibilities. You can add your own cutout to an image of your favorite celebrity or musician or you can add it to a really cool destination and trick your friends into thinking you really were there. You can also add more elements to the image of a friend to make it funny.

And all you need to do is follow some easy steps to do it. It won't even take you a minute.

How to add photo cutouts to another image on iPhones

1. First, go to the Photos app on any iPhone that supports iOS 16.

2. The image must have a subject in the foreground. It will not work with photos of scenery or buildings. The main subject must be distinguishable from the line of background.

3. Once you have opened the image, simply long-press and pull the image. You should be able to extract the subject cutout. But don't do that, instead wait for the Options menu to pop up and select ‘copy'.

4. Now you need to go to Instagram, open stories, and add an image to the story. And then long press to open the Options menu and click ‘Allow paste'. Select it and you have your cutout on the new background.

5. You can position it and also increase or decrease it in size. Once happy with the results, simply save the image to your device and send it to your friends.
