  2. Drag a corner of the frame or pinch to adjust the visible area. Dragging a corner keeps the original aspect ratio. To change the ratio, unlock it or select a preset such as Square, Wallpaper, 9:16, or 5:7.

For a tighter composition, you might crop out distractions while keeping the subject and intended framing visible; that’s a creative choice, not a required setting.

How do I flip or rotate a photo?

Both controls are in Crop. Tap Flip to mirror the image horizontally. Tap Rotate to turn it 90 degrees. When the image looks right, tap Done. Apple documents horizontal flipping in Photos, not a vertical-flip control. See Apple’s crop, rotate, and flip instructions.
