101 Greatest iOS 9 Tips and Tricks for iPhone and iPad

The aspect ratio of an image has to do with how the photo’s height correlates to its width. Some of us would prefer our photos to be more squarish, or more rectangular, for instance — and thankfully, Apple has made doing that easy in iOS 9.

To change the aspect ratio of your image, simply go to the Photos app, tap on the photo you want to edit, and then select Edit (in the upper right-hand corner of the screen). Tap on the same Crop icon mentioned above, and then tap on the Change Aspect Ratio button (the little white square at the bottom of the cropping dial). Choose whatever aspect ratio you’d like (there are several options, ranging from 2:3 to 9:16). When you’re finished, tap on Done in the bottom corner of the screen.

If you’re unhappy with the changes you’ve made, you also have the option to revert back to the original photo. Simply tap Edit again, and then tap on the red Revert button in the bottom corner of the screen.
