iOS 27.2 was recently released, bringing a new feature to Apple Photos that adds an invisible watermark when using certain editing tools. This feature aims to combat the growing issue of AI-generated fake photos. Tools like SynthID have been previously used to add invisible watermarks to AI-generated content. Starting from iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS 27.2, and visionOS 27.2, Apple now uses SynthID watermarks for Apple Intelligence tools in Apple Photos, Image Playground, and Image Wand.
These tools include Clean Up, Extend, and Spatial Reframing in Photos, as well as Image Playground and Image Wand in Image Playground. The watermark is applied to both genuine photos and AI-generated images created in these tools. Users won't be able to see the watermark on their photos or for others to notice it unless they specifically use a SynthID detector.
To check for the watermark, Apple suggests visiting synthid.com and uploading an image for analysis.
