iPhone: How to Put Two Photos Together Using Shortcuts

By Madalina Dinita 1 comment Last updated March 28, 2022

The Photos app offers limited image editing options. A simple task such as putting two pictures together requires following a long list of steps. That’s why many iOS users prefer to install third-party photo editing apps that offer advanced image editing options, such as Snapseed, Adobe Lightroom, and so on.

Well, if you don’t want to install a third-party app, you can use the built-in Shortcuts app to put two photos together on iOS. The only downside is that the setup process is a bit lengthy.

First things first, make sure to check for updates. Update iOS and all of your apps to the latest version to avoid any unexpected issues due to outdated software. Navigate to Settings, select General, and tap Software Updates. Then, go to App Store, tap on your profile picture, and scroll down to Upcoming Automatic Updates. Tap the Update All button to install pending updates.
