With iOS 15, Apple gave iPhone users the ability to perform visual look ups on photos taken using the camera. The iPhone can now recognize and identify numerous subjects, one of which is plants! This little known feature is useful in a few ways. Obviously, keen gardeners and plant lovers can now simply take an image of a flower they like, look it up instantly (or when it suits them) and then go buy one for themselves, all without needing to ask for or remember the grandiose Latin name. And what’s more, both parents and pet owners can now figure out exactly what their pesky child or family dog has eaten — and whether it’s dangerous — with just a few taps and swipes, potentially saving costly medical or veterinary fees. As iPhone features go, this one’s pretty nifty. So, without further ado, here’s how to identify plants on iPhone (and here’s how to identify plants on an Android phone). As well as hidden features tutorials, we also have plenty of expertly crafted guides to help you make the right purchase. If you’re looking for a new phone, make sure you read our comprehensive buyer’s guides to the best phones, best cheap phones, best unlocked phones and best small phones. You can also follow Tom’s Guide on TikTok for more iPhone hacks and tutorials, just like this one.
