It’s worth pointing out that the process of using the exposure tool is almost the same in the older versions of iOS like iOS 16, 15, and 14. That means even if your iPhone is old and running the previous iterations of iOS, you will be able to unravel this handy photo editing tool.

Step 1. First off, open the Photos app on your iPhone.

Step 2. Now, head over to the image you would like to edit and tap on it. Note that it works with any image. Whether you wish to edit an image that you have captured using your iPhone camera or have imported it from any platform, you can use this tool. 

Step 3. Next, tap on the Edit button at the top right corner of the screen.

Step 4. Next up, tap on the icon that looks like a wall clock at the bottom of the screen.

Step 5. Up next, tap on the Exposure icon.
