Remove the background of a photo not working ios 16 update

New feature says that we can touch and hold the photo then we can remove the background. After that we can drag it anywhere and paste it as sticker.

But while I am dragging the subject and sending only the subject, my whatsapp is sending subject along with a white background attached instead of sending it as a sticker.

Hi there praneeth104,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. Just to confirm, are you following the steps below from the following resource when attempting to lift a subject from the photos background: Interact with text and subjects in Photos on iPhone - Apple Support


Lift a subject from the photo background
You can lift the subject of a photo away from the background so you can copy and share it in other documents and apps.
1. Open a photo.
2. Touch and briefly hold the subject of the photo. When it’s outlined, do one of the following:
- Tap Copy, then paste the subject into an email, text message, or note.
- Tap Share, then choose a sharing option, such as AirDrop, Messages, or Mail.


If so, does this issue occur if trying to paste the photo into a message in the Messages app? If not, then this feature may not work as expected with other third-party apps.


For the best information on using this feature in WhatsApp, we'd recommend reaching out to WhatsApp support at this link here: Contact WhatsApp


We hope that's able to help.


Take care!
