Camera, Photos & AR

THE CAMERA AND Photos apps have some great advanced features, and there are plenty more handy apps out there to make use of your iPhone’s augmented and mixed reality capabilities.

In Photos, Visual Look Up gives instant access to information about things in your photograph. This includes landmarks, pets, flowers, books, works of art and more. It’s easy to use. Open a photograph in the Photos app. At the foot of the screen there’s an “i” (in a circle) icon, which gives information about the photo. If this icon is augmented by a star, or changes shapethe top of the panel that pops up, is an option marked “Look Up [Object]”. Tap this option for information, links, similar pictures and more.
