Thank you! There is a setting when you go in to language and region where you can turn it on even though you are not in right region, it’s just that it only recognizes certain languages. Thank you for the help all of you

This feature is available in some regions only. See here: https://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/#live-text-live-text


Are you in one of those regions and is your device correctly set to that region?


If yes, in Camera app, while using back/rare facing camera, tap on preview to set focus on text, then beside zoom controls (above on-screen shutter button) you should see icon to view live text.
