Collages are a great way to showcase multiple photos in one image. While there are many collage-making apps available, you don’t necessarily need to download one to create a beautiful collage on your iPhone. Here’s how to make a collage on iPhone without app.
Before you start creating your collage, you need to choose the pictures you want to include. Pick photos that have a similar theme or color scheme to make your collage look cohesive.
Using the Photos App
Open the Photos app on your iPhone and select the pictures you want to include in your collage. Tap on the “Select” button on the top right corner and choose the photos you want to use.
Using the Files App
If your pictures are saved in your iCloud or Google Drive, you can access them through the Files app. Open the Files app, navigate to the folder where your pictures are stored, and select the photos you want to use.
Once you’ve chosen your pictures, it’s time to arrange them in your collage. There are different ways to do this, depending on your preference.
Using the Photos App
Select the pictures you want to include in your collage and tap on the “Share” button on the bottom left corner. Scroll down and tap on “Collage.” The app will automatically generate a collage for you, but you can also tap on the “Layout” button to choose a different arrangement.
Using the Markup Tool
If you want more control over the arrangement of your pictures, you can use the Markup tool. Open one of the pictures you want to include in your collage and tap on the “Edit” button on the top right corner. Tap on the three dots on the top right corner and choose “Markup.” From here, you can add other pictures and arrange them as you wish.
Using Social Media Apps
Some social media apps, like Instagram and Snapchat, have built-in collage tools. Open the app and select the pictures you want to include in your collage. Tap on the “Collage” or “Layout” button, and choose the arrangement you prefer.
Once you’re happy with your collage, it’s time to save and share it with the world.
