Identify plants using Photos on iPhone.

Previously I could take a picture of a plant and then identify it by clicking on the info symbol. With all the updates, that doesn't happen

  1. Using iPhone's built-in Visual Look Up:
    1. Make sure your iPhone is running iOS 15 or later.
    2. Open the Camera app and point it at the plant.
      1. Alternatively, you can use an existing photo in your Photos app.
    3. A small white info icon (i) might appear over the plant in the viewfinder. Tap on it if it does.
    4. If the above method doesn't work, open the photo in your Photos app.
    5. Tap and hold on to the part of the photo containing the plant.
    6. If your iPhone recognizes the plant, a pop-up with information including its name will appear.
