  Point the camera at a block of text and a Live Text icon appears in lower right corner

  In messages and iPhoto too. Requires iPhone 12 or higher I think. “Live text”

  Great, now I am 'infected' with this knowledge as well. Which is actually... a good thing. Thanks!

  Absolutely, it's pretty cool to be able to search my phone for something and it's also searching the text in my photos!

  @aaronpk yes, this feature works so well it is borderline magic. Saved my work the other day, when I accidentally powered off a virtual machine and only thing I had was a screenshot of its configuration. Copy&Paste, fix the two typos and I was good to go

  @aaronpk yep one of the best new features in iOS15. And it is so handy. Also works in the camera app.

  On desktop too, when holding down the Shift key.

  This probably also means safari/apple are scraping/indexing text in images
