If you’ve ever wondered what kind of plant is on your desk and what kind of dog is currently jumping in the park, you don’t need to guess.This is not’90’s. In 2022, technology was introduced to turn the iPhone into a mystery and figure out what it was in seconds.You need to know how to use it.

This feature is not something you have lived ignorantly for years.Apple I just added it to the product suite last yearWith the release of iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS12 Mojave.We have others, too Hidden features that most of us don’t know— —like that Ability to turn off family iPhone alarms on your iPhone— —I’ve lived quietly in the iOS ecosystem for years, and Visual LookUp isn’t one of them.

How to search real world subjects on iPhone

The first thing you need to do is take a picture of the subject you are trying to learn more, whether it is a plant, an animal, or a landmark. If you already have a photo of your subject, it will still work. Next, pull up the image with the photo app, and then seek The star next to (i) at the bottom of the screen (you may need to tap the image once to see this option).

A star in (i) indicates that the photo can use visual lookups on this image. If there are no stars, the subject cannot be identified or the image is not functioning properly.

If there is a star, tap (i). Here you can see some common extended information options that you normally do. One is important. Difference: “Look up” The look-up icon and title will differ depending on the subject in the photo. For example, if you took a picture of a dog, you’ll see a footprint icon next to the word “dog.” But that’s not all.[ルックアップ]When you tap, the iPhone will best guess the breed of dog.In my case it is exactly correct so I can finally I will start telling people what kind of dog I have (hey).

The results show both Siri knowledge pointing to articles from sources such as Wikipedia, as well as similar images of the subject. If you are looking at a landmark, you may also see its address and, if applicable, contact information.

The iPhone is arguably the most useful use case for Visual Look Up, but you can use this feature on your iPad and Mac as well.Of course, you’re more likely to take a picture of something on your iPhone faster than on your iPad (and Who is taking a picture of the subject on a Mac?). However, if you already have an image on one of these other devices, you can use the (i) button to see the details of the image.
