Why isn't the new live text OCR available?

My iPhone uses iOS 15.0.2. Still, the new live text feature isn't available. There is no such symbol on the screen when taking or viewing pictures, and in the Camera settings there is no possibility to enable it.

iPhone 8, iOS 15

Hello Ernst Vikne,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, Live Text isn't working on your iPhone with iOS 15.0.2. We'll do our best to assist.


For this issue, we'd recommend the following:


  1. Restart your iPhone
  2. Enable Live Text in Settings > General > Language & Region
  3. Review: Use Live Text and Visual Look Up on your iPhone
  4. Make sure you're trying to use the feature correctly: Use Live Text with the iPhone camera


Let us know if that helps out or not.


Wishing you well, take care.
