iPhone AI Images and Edits Now Have a Hidden Watermark
AI · First reported 26 Oct, 21:15 · Updated 08:32

Apple’s iOS 27.2 adds SynthID watermarks to Image Playground creations and some images edited with Apple Intelligence.
- SynthID is a Google-created watermarking tool that embeds identifying signals at the pixel level rather than adding metadata.
- Image Playground creations and images edited with Extend or Reframe were reported to carry SynthID watermarks.
- For Clean Up edits, watermarking depended on edit size; the iPhone has no built-in SynthID detector, and the article points users to Google’s SynthID Detector website.
