If you're longing to evoke the heady days of summer in your pictures, you're in luck as there's a new iPhone photo-editing hack in town. TikTok users are going wild for this magic formula, which transforms your photos into warm, sun-drenched utopias. The only catch is that the original photo has to be taken in bright, natural light.
Sound good? Well, all you need to recreate the majesty is an iOS device and a specific set of instructions (which you'll find below). This may be one of the best smartphone photography tricks we've seen – it recreates the 'golden hour' of sunlight pretty accurately.
