iPhone 17 Pro I took a photo at the iStore... .png file 'cut out'

[dadders6]

While my daughter was buying a 17 pro, I used a different store 17 pro to take this pic, and emailed it to myself. For some reason I received a 'cut out' .png file, as well as the original 'regular' photo. I took a number of other photos from 17, 16 and Air, emailed them, and none of them did this. I don't recall any menu item or selection on the 17 pro for that function. Any idea how this happened?

Did you hold down the image and press “Copy subject” before emailing it or airdropping it to your iPhone from the Apple Store?

Or save it to sticker library ?

I don't have any memory of doing that sort of thing, but I was in a bit of hurry, so perhaps. I use a Mac computer, but my phone is Pixel 8 pro. I recently got a refurbed 15 pro just to use as a video camera, not a phone, so I'm familiar with iPhones, but i haven't noticed that function on my 15.

It is a feature on iOS 16 and later, probably just activated it accidentally.

In iOS 16 and later, you can isolate the subject of a photo — like a person or a building — from the rest of the photo and then copy or share it.
