IOS18.5 iPhone15 no longer shows results in photos searched words Since IOS17 the iPhone 15 has continuously failed to allow me to search for apps in the quick search bar of the Home Screen. Even typing “settings” comes up with no results. Now since IOS18 the iPhone15 no longer shows results for searched words, phrases or items in the photos app. Prior to IOS18 I was able to search anything from an item description to a word that can be found in its search scan. Now there’s no results and it’s permanently like this since June2025

Do what it says, so it can complete the scan. It yo have a lot of photos it can take several nights to complete.
