How get rid of icon messing up photos?

A little box with lines appears in some photos I save on my iPhone.. When this happens, I cannot edit it out if it covers something important in the photo.


I've searched old threads here, done they said, and it doesn't work.


I'd appreciate your help. Thanks.

Does the box look like this? A square with three lines inside?

This marker is indicating "Live text", that Photos has detected text inside the photo that can be copied or interacted with. See: Use Live Text to interact with content in a photo or video on iPhone - Apple Support


This marker is only shown, if the Info for the photo is open. You want to close the Info for the photo to see what is behind the marker.
