Here we have shared the easiest steps to combine multiple images on your iPhone and iPad. We can achieve this by taking advantage of the Shortcuts app.
After you have created the shortcut on your device, you can use it repeatedly to combine images. The best thing about this method is that it does not require third-party apps and can be done using the iPhone’s built-in features.
The shortcut that we will create in this guide will allow us to combine photos horizontally, vertically, and in a grid. You will be able to select how you want to combine the photos each time during the execution of the shortcut.
You can follow this guide on iOS 17 and iOS 18.
