Do you often edit multiple photos in the same style? Lightening, contrast, color tuning - all of this can be unnecessarily time-consuming when you have a large number of photos. Apple fortunately already in iOS 16 added a handy feature that lets you easily copy and paste edits from one photo to other images, allowing you to unify the look of an entire series in seconds.

- Select the image you want to edit.
- Tap Edit
- Promake all required changes (light, colors, filters)
- When finished, tap Done.
- In the top right corner, tap the three dots icon
- From the menu, choose Copy Edits
This step will save all the edits you've made to the clipboard. Once you've copied your edits, you can apply them to another image or to an entire group of photos:
- Open another photo or select multiple images in your library
- Tap the three-dot icon again
- Select Insert Edits
