A new secret iPhone feature has been launched by Apple. This new function can identify printed texts on images, making photo search activities easier.
What's exciting about this new tech is that it allows consumers to find images without using Apple's Photos app. This was first discovered by Macworld's Senior Contributor Glenn Fleishman.
"It was surprising to me when I first saw it because Apple doesn't note it in the list of features for iOS 15 or iPadOS 15, nor does the company mention it in any of its support documents," said Fleishman via his official report.
New Secret iPhone Feature Identifies Printed Texts on Images
According to 9To5Mac's latest report, the new text-searching feature on iPhone uses the same tech used in the popular Apple Live Text function, a technology that can recognize the texts in a captured photo or an online image.

However, some experts said that Apple has its own reasons for not announcing the new feature. One of these is that the new text-searching function is still unstable.
This means that the secret iPhone feature can't recognize printed texts in some images. But, once this technology is finalized or perfected, it will be useful.
As of writing, some users can already access this new feature. But, their devices need to have the updated iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 system versions.
How To Use the New Text-Searching Feature
Using the new secret iPhone enhancement is quite easy to do. All you need to do is follow the steps below:
- First, swipe down on your iPhone's Home screen and enter the words you are looking for in the Search field tab.
- After that, swipe down again to find an item reading Photos from Apps. Then, click the "More" option.
- Your device should show you the "Text Found In Photos" section. Once you are there, you can click the image that has the printed text you are searching for.
- After that, an icon in the lower-right corner of your screen will appear. This will show that the app that contains the image you are looking at.
