Visual search is coming to the iPhone, powered by Apple Intelligence, Apple’s suite of AI capabilities.
The Camera Control, the new button on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, can launch what Apple calls “visual intelligence” — basically a reverse image search combined with some text recognition.
If you use visual intelligence to search for a restaurant, for example, it’ll pull up restaurant hours, ratings and options to check out the menu or make a reservation, Apple says. Or, if you come across a flyer for an event, you can use visual intelligence to quickly add the title, time, date and location to your calendar.
Visual intelligence will launch along with other Apple Intelligence features in beta in October for U.S. English language users. Users in other countries can expect to get it December and early 2025.
