Visual Intelligence Gets an Upgrade

Screenshots and photos aren’t just static images anymore. In iOS 26, the visual intelligence feature of Apple Intelligence expands beyond your camera to let your iPhone recognize objects, landmarks, products, and even text inside your images. 

For example, if you take a screenshot of a recipe, you can highlight an ingredient and instantly search for substitutes. Or you can highlight a product, and Google search it to buy it in a flash.

To try it, simply take a screenshot and then tap on the image in the bottom left corner of your screen. From there, press and hold the object you want to search to highlight it. Or you can tap the Ask or Search buttons at the bottom of your screen.
