Last December, Apple introduced the first Visual Intelligence features to its newest iPhones. This allowed users to long-press their Camera Control button and point their iPhone\u2019s camera at something, then Visual Intelligence would identify what they were looking at and tell them about it. <\/p>\n
For example, you could use your iPhone\u2019s camera to identify and learn about a business or a restaurant (such as its open hours or its menu). You could use Visual Intelligence to translate messages and signs in different languages. <\/p>\n
Then, in January of this year, Apple rolled out iOS 18.3, which gave compatible iPhones even more Visual Intelligence abilities, such as the ability to identify animals, plants, and insects. Additionally, it could recognize event posters and flyers and then add them to your Calendar app. <\/p>\n
Fast forward to earlier this month and, thanks to iOS 26, Visual Intelligence has gotten even better. In addition to helping you identify things in the real world, it can now tell you more about what\u2019s appearing on your iPhone\u2019s screen.<\/p>\n
Visual Intelligence x Screenshots<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right. With iOS 26, Apple has extended Visual Intelligence to your iPhone\u2019s screenshots. <\/p>\n
Instead of requiring your iPhone\u2019s camera and Camera Control button, you can now take a screenshot \u2014 by quickly pressing the Volume Up and Side buttons at the same time \u2014 and you\u2019ll see a Visual Intelligence prompt at the bottom of your screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last December, Apple introduced the first Visual Intelligence features to its newest iPhones.
