Can I change the background of a iOS 16 picture? I lifted it out of the original very busy background but can’t figure out how to paste it onto a plain blue background.
It’s a very nice picture of my spouse’s head and I want to make it look nice.

Great idea, however, what you are aiming for is not possible on the iPhone with the use of the Photos app. There may be apps in the App Store that could help you accomplish what you are looking to do. Perform a Google search on the internet for recommended apps for this purpose.
I was in your predicament once and used a Mac and a third party app called Pixelmator Pro. I had lifted the subject from a photo and then pasted it to a background of my choice.

I had the same problem with a portrait photo of a black dog. When “cut” in iOS 16 the image has a stark white background - if using this as a wall paper the text in the title bar remains white and can not be read!
As has been suggested there are many apps out there that will solve the issue but although “free” have limited functionality often with poor resolution and are geared up for in app purchases! Using the inbuilt iOS features I have arrived at a workaround using the in built iOS features - a bit cumbersome but works for a one off.
Cut and copy the image.
Open Pages and make a coloured “paper” to paste the image onto thus:
Select a blank document.
Select “shape” - fourth tool from left in title bar and select eg the square and resize as suitable.
now select the “brush” tool - third from right.
Select “Fill” -> colour -> choose required background (paper) colour from the pallet.
Paste cut image onto this with necessary adjustments!
Will not save to Photos from Pages so do a Screen Shot!
GOOD TO GO!

However your best bet is to use apps like PhotoShop or Pixelmator. There are versions of both for the iPhone but the full Mac versions have far more options.
How can I Change the background on a picture?
