Perhaps the simplest way to edit a photo on iOS and iPadOS is to use a built-in Photos filter.
The Photos app for iPhone and iPad offers 10 filters — including vivid, dramatic, mono, silvertone, and many more.
How to use filters in Photos for iPhone and iPad
Filters are handy when you want to salvage an image or a photo that didn't turn out the way you'd hoped, or you want to change the mood and go for a unique effect.
- Launch the Photos app from your Home screen.
Tap on the photo you want to filter.
- Tap the Edit button at the top right of the screen.
- Tap the Filters button in the bottom menu in the middle.
- Scroll, then tap on the filter you want to apply.
Tap Done.
When you're ready to push your iPhone photo-editing to fun, new level, consider a third-party app, which offers more choices than the native Photos app. Among the more interesting ones available in the App Store are Prisma, Popsicolor, and Olli by Tinrocket.
