Apple's iOS 27.2 adds an invisible SynthID watermark to photos edited with Clean Up, Extend and Spatial Reframing
9to5Mac· 6 Nov9to5Mac reports that, per a new Apple support document, iOS, iPadOS, macOS and visionOS 27.2 add an invisible SynthID watermark to images created or edited with Clean Up, Extend and Spatial Reframing in Photos, and with Image Playground and Image Wand. The mark is also applied to genuine photos when those tools are used on them. You cannot see it, and others only find it by running the image through a SynthID detector, which Apple points to at synthid.com.
- If you use Clean Up on product or property photos, know that the edited copy may now be tagged as AI-modified, and keep the original photo too.
- If you doubt a picture, upload it to synthid.com, but remember that a missing mark does not prove a photo is real.
