Here’s how to crop, rotate or flip your photos

Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
Choose a photo that you want to crop.
Zoom in on the photo if needed. To zoom in on the image, use a pinch-out gesture on the screen. Place two fingers close together on the photo itself and spread them apart. Keep spreading your fingers until you’ve zoomed in enough to focus on the desired area of the photo. This will allow you to examine finer details and make precise cropping adjustments.
Press the crop button in the top right corner of your screen.
