You can typically tap and hold on a subject in a photograph on your iPhone to isolate it from the rest of the image, and you can then paste that subject into other apps for further processing.
But have you ever wanted to isolate other things from your photographs apart from the most salient object in an image? If you answered yes to that question, then a new jailbreak tweak called ENA – Extract Nearly Anything by iOS developer xia0 might just be what you’re looking for.
Using ENA —Extract Nearly Anything works exactly as you would expect it to. You simply open up the Photos app, choose an image you want to extract an object from, and tap and hold on the object you wish to extract, even if it isn’t the main subject or most salient object in that image.
The tweak works by selecting objects at a given position in an image instead of automatically capturing the subject, which means you now have more control over what gets selected in your images and what doesn’t. This makes it easier to collect details that iOS might ordinarily miss, allowing you to paste them in other apps.
Once installed, the tweak adds a dedicated preference pane to the Settings app where users may enable or disable the tweak on demand, but no other options to configure exist, nor are they necessary:
If you’re interested in expanding upon your ability to select objects in images on your jailbroken iPhone or iPad, then you can acquire ENA — Extract Nearly Anything for $0.99 via the Havoc repository in your favorite package manager app. The tweak supports pwned iOS 14, 15, and 16 devices, including the rootless variety of jailbreaks such as Dopamine and palera1n.
