How to use this hidden iPhone feature – Identify Landmarks in Photos

I was looking for an article to write, and I came across this neat trick that involves the Photos app and your photos – how to use an iPhone to identify landmarks in photos.  The feature is called Visual Lookup.

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

In order for the below to work, you must have iOS 15 or newer installed, as well as an iPhone with the A12 Bionic chip or later.  The feature does have some language problems, and can only work with the below:

• English (Australia, Canada, India, Singapore, UK, US)
• French (France)
• German (Germany)
• Italian (Italy)
• Spanish (Mexico, Spain, U.S.)

If your iPhone qualifies, then read on!

The Visual Lookup works with the Photos app.

1. Open the Photos app.
2. Tap an image containing a Landmark.
3. Look for an “i” at the bottom of the photo.
4. If it has a star in the left corner, Visual Lookup is available for the image.
5. Tap “i” again for more information, or swipe UP on the photo.
6. For even more information, tap the icon under the landmark photo.
7. Siri will be invoked for further information about the Landmark.
8. That’s it.

Identifying landmarks can be extremely useful when you’re on a trip or just to find out what the Landmark is about.
