Is there any WordPress way to get all categories for some selected posts?

Enter wp_get_object_terms – it accepts an array of object IDs and retrieves all of their (unique) attached terms:

$terms = wp_get_object_terms( [ 1, 2, 3 ], 'category' );
foreach ( $terms as $term )
    echo "$term->name<br />";
