Text Recognition. On devices with
iOS 13 or macOS 10.15 and above, you can use
Live Text to
select and
copy text directly from photos in chat.
On iOS, tap to open a photo in the
media viewer, then tap the
text icon to isolate words from the background. The
macOS app automatically detects text in photos – ready for you to select with your cursor.
This secure image recognition is handled entirely on your device.
