Camera icon in lower right corner

When I’m taking a picture of my Mac book pro screen, my iPhone has a square symbol in the lower right hand corner that pops up. It is a rounded corner square - with four smaller inside corners- with three lines running horizontally across the center. It only comes up when - I’m taking a pic of laptop screen. What is it and how do I turn it off? Thanks

iPhone 12 Pro Max

Hello Curious3482,


What you are seeing is the icon for Live Text.


Live Test can recognize information in photos and images.
