Starting with iOS 16 on a relatively recent iPhone, you can do that with many photos. In the Photos app, touch and hold the object, and if Photos can extract it, you\u2019ll see a highlight run around its edges.

Or you can start dragging the object, switch apps with your other hand, and drop it into another app, like Messages. With <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/102430\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Universal Clipboard<\/a>, you can even lift an object on an iPhone, copy it, switch to Preview on your Mac, and choose File &gt; New from Clipboard.
