The iPhone can identify objects, landmarks, plants, and more within your photos using a feature called Visual Look Up.
You can easily identify objects in photos on your iPhone by utilizing the built-in Visual Look Up feature. This function analyzes images to provide information about recognized items, leveraging data from Siri Knowledge and the web.
Here’s how you can use Visual Look Up, based on the provided reference:
- Select a photo: Locate the image containing the object you want to identify. This works in various apps like Notes, Mail, or Messages where photos are displayed. In these apps, simply touch and hold the image to select it.
- Tap the Info button: Once the photo is selected or viewed, look for the Info button. It typically appears as a lowercase "i" inside a circle (ⓘ). Tap this button.
- Tap the icon in or below the photo: If Visual Look Up recognizes something in the image, an icon will appear on the photo itself or below the photo next to the Info button. This icon changes depending on what's recognized (e.g., a paw print for pets, a leaf for plants, a food icon for food, a landmark icon for landmarks). Tap this icon.
- Tap to learn more: After tapping the icon, Visual Look Up will present results. Tap on the information provided to learn more details, which are pulled from Siri Knowledge and the web.
By following these steps, your iPhone can help you quickly get information about items you see in your pictures.
