I’m an iPhone expert and there’s an important setting you must change to avoid awkward situation with your partner

CHANCES are your phone is filled with photos from over the years – but some moments we’d rather leave in the past.

Especially if it involves an ex.

iPhone loves to remind us of the good times with Memories but the problem is it can be massively awkward if photos and videos involve a former flame.

Your current partner may get a bit funny if they see pics of you and your ex locking lips on the beach for example.

Fortunately, there’s a way to cut them out.

How to hide a person from your iPhone Photos

On iPhone, it’s the Memories section on the For You tab of Photos that might display exes.

The Photos widgets on your main iPhone screen can be a problem too.

To make a person feature less, just open the Photos app and go to Albums.

Tap the People & Places images.

Select the person you no longer wish to see.

Find the three-dot menu in the top right.

Tap Feature This Person Less.

You now have the choice between them appearing less or not at all.

The difference is Feature This Person Less blocks them from memories unless it’s a group photo they’re featured in.

Never Feature This Person blocks every instance of them, including in group photos.

Apple also warns that photos of the person may still be featured if their face is not recognised or is partially obscured, so it’s not a 100 per cent sure proof solution, but it should help.

Tap Confirm to finish.
