The Live Text feature is limited to relatively recent models of iPad. Here is a direct link to the relevant page of the Guide:

Use Live Text with your iPad camera - Apple Support


As you’ll note, these are the iPad models that support Live Text, Visual Look Up, and lifting a subject from the background:


  • iPad mini (5th generation and later)
  • iPad (9th generation and later)
  • iPad Air (3rd generation and later)
  • iPad Pro 11-inch (all generations)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later)



The iPad User Guide is a rich source of frequently overlooked information about your iPad and iPadOS. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:

The Tips App, installed by default on most models of iPad, provides a brief introduction - and leads you to the User Guide. In case you missed it, here is a link to the Tips App:

Apple also has a huge YouTube Channel - containing videos and feature guidance:
