Tags and Live Text - compatible iPhones

Tags for Notes:

YES. What you need for Tags with Notes is iOS 15, iPadOS 15 or MacOS Big Sur. It will work with iPhones, iPads or Macs that run one of those operating systems. This will work on your iPhone 8.

Live Text:

NO. This feature will not work on your iPhone 8. The minimum requirements are iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPad Air 2019 model, iPad mini 2019 model, iPad 8th gen, or a newer device (iPhone 11, 12, 13, etc) to have this capability available – and yes that means some devices able to run iOS 15 are not able to use Live Text.

"Tags and Live Text - compatible iPhones: Hi. Are the Tags for Notes and Live Text in Photos features enabled for iPhone 8? I’ve updated to iOS 15.0.2 and don’t appear to have this functionality still. Thanks"

Yes.

1. Go Here: Use Tags and Smart Folders in Notes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
2. As it Reads: "With iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, you can use tags to quickly categorize your notes so you can easily find them later."
