Sometimes, even as a tech reporter, you can be caught out by how quickly technology improves. Case in point: it was only today that I learned that my iPhone has been offering a feature I\u2019ve long desired \u2014 the ability to identify plants and flowers from just a photo.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that various third-party apps have offered this function for years, but last time I tried them I was disappointed by their speed and accuracy. And, yes, there\u2019s Google Lens and Snapchat Scan<\/a>, but it\u2019s always less convenient to open up an app I wouldn\u2019t otherwise use. <\/p>\n

But, since the introduction of iOS 15 last September, Apple has offered its own version of this visual search feature. It\u2019s called Visual Look Up<\/a>, and it\u2019s pretty damn good. <\/p>\n

It works very simply. Just open up a photo or screenshot in the Photos app and look for the blue \u201ci\u201d icon underneath. If it has a little sparkly ring around it, then iOS has found something in the photo it can identify using machine learning. Tap the icon, then click \u201cLook Up\u201d and it\u2019ll try and dredge up some useful information. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Tapping the \u201ci\u201d icon usually gives you more information about when you took the photo and your camera settings. If the ring sparkles, though, there\u2019s Visual Look Up data to see, too. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

After you hit the \u201ci\u201d icon you\u2019ll have the option to look up more information based on a few select categories. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

It doesn\u2019t just work for plants and flowers, either, but for landmarks, art, pets, and \u201cother objects.\u201d It\u2019s not perfect, of course, but it\u2019s surprised me more times than it\u2019s let me down. Here are some more examples just from my camera roll:<\/p>\n

Visual Look Up works for landmarks, animals, and art, as well as plants and flowers. <\/em><\/figcaption>Image: The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Although Apple announced this feature last year at WWDC, it hasn\u2019t exactly been trumpeting its availability. (I spotted it via a link in one of my favorite tech newsletters, The Overspill<\/em><\/a>.<\/em>) Even the official support page for Visual Look Up gives mixed messages, telling you in one place it\u2019s \u201cU.S. only\u201d then listing other compatible regions on a different page<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Visual Look Up is<\/em> still limited in its availability, but access has expanded since launch. It\u2019s now available in English in the US, Australia, Canada, UK, Singapore, and Indonesia; in French in France; in German in Germany; in Italian in Italy; and in Spanish in Spain, Mexico, and the US. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great feature, but it\u2019s also got me wondering what else visual search could do. Imagine snapping a picture of your new houseplant, for example, only for Siri to ask \u201cwant me to set up reminders for a watering schedule?\u201d \u2014 or, if you take a picture of a landmark on holiday, for Siri to search the web to find opening hours and where to buy tickets. <\/p>\n

I learned long ago that it\u2019s foolish to pin your hopes on Siri<\/a> doing anything too advanced. But these are the sorts of features we might eventually get with future AR or VR headsets. Let\u2019s hope if Apple does introduce this sort of functionality, it makes a bigger splash. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
