It sounds like you’re referring to a new feature or update related to the screenshot editor on your iPhone, possibly incorporating AI tools for enhanced editing capabilities. However, to provide precise instructions on how to get this feature or revert back to a previous version, I need a bit more context, such as the iOS version you’re currently using and whether this feature is part of a beta update or a public release.
That said, here are some general steps you might follow to update your iPhone to the latest iOS version, which could include new features like an enhanced screenshot editor with AI tools, as well as how to revert back to a previous version if needed:
Updating to the Latest iOS Version
- Backup Your iPhone: Before updating, always back up your iPhone to iCloud or your computer. This ensures you don’t lose any important data during the update process.
- Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- General: Tap on "General."
- Software Update: Select "Software Update."
- Download and Install: If an update is available, you’ll see it here. Tap "Download and Install" to update your iPhone.
Enabling New Features
If the new screenshot editor is part of the latest iOS update, after installing the update:
- Take a Screenshot: Press the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button (for iPhones with a Home button) or the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button (for iPhones without a Home button) simultaneously.
- Tap the Screenshot Thumbnail: In the lower-left corner, you’ll see a thumbnail of your screenshot. Tap this to open the screenshot in the editor.
- Explore New Tools: Look for new editing tools or options that might utilize AI, such as enhanced text recognition, object removal, or smart adjustments.
Reverting Back to a Previous Version
Note: Downgrading your iOS version can be more complicated and might not always be possible, especially once you’ve updated to a newer version. Apple typically stops signing older versions of iOS shortly after releasing a new one, which means you can’t easily downgrade.
However, if you’ve recently updated and want to try downgrading:
- Backup: Ensure you have a backup from before you updated, as downgrading will erase all content and settings.
- Connect to Computer: Connect your iPhone to the computer you normally use to sync with iTunes.
- Open iTunes/Finder: Open iTunes (on Windows or macOS before Catalina) or Finder (on macOS Catalina or later).
- Select Your iPhone: Click on your iPhone’s name in the top left corner of the iTunes window or in the Finder sidebar.
- Restore iPhone: Click "Restore iPhone" while holding the Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) key. This opens a file browser where you can select the IPSW file for the version you want to downgrade to.
- Select IPSW File: Choose the IPSW file for your iPhone model and the iOS version you wish to install. Note: You’ll need to download this file from a reputable source, such as Apple’s website or a trusted ISPW download site. Ensure it’s the latest version that Apple is still signing.
- Wait for Installation: iTunes/Finder will then install the selected version of iOS on your iPhone. This process may take a few minutes.
Important Consideration: Downgrading can lead to loss of data and some features might not work as expected. Always consider the implications before deciding to downgrade your iOS version.
If the specific screenshot editor feature you’re looking for isn’t available after updating to the latest iOS, and you’re not comfortable with the process of downgrading or it’s not possible, you might consider looking into third-party apps that offer advanced screenshot editing tools, including some that utilize AI for enhancing your images.
