After the iOS 26.1 update, Apple Intelligence finally supports Traditional Chinese. This time, it’s not just about “translating Chinese,” because even the “Visual Intelligence” feature is now available! Now, if you see a photo of furniture, a model, or a travel destination post, simply take a screenshot and Visual Intelligence will directly help you find information, products, and ChatGPT queries. No more copying, pasting, or dumping into other apps—the whole process is much faster. Here’s how to use it!
What is “visual intelligence”?
Visual Intelligence, simply put, allows the iPhone to directly understand “what’s in the picture.” Previously, it could only identify actual objects through the camera, but now iOS 26.1 expands this scope to include “screenshots.” As long as your phone screen displays products, photos, artwork, plants, animals, etc., you can directly search, examine the background, and ask questions after taking a screenshot, making it incredibly convenient.
How to use iPhone screenshot AI visual intelligence?
Apple Intelligence’s “Visual Intelligence” is very easy to use. Simply follow these steps to learn how to use this useful feature! Here are the steps:
▲ If you see something you don’t know or are interested in, take a screenshot, then click “Search” in the bottom right corner. Visual Intelligence will provide results from Google for your reference.
▲ In addition to clicking the search button in the bottom right corner, you can also circle the screenshot to search for results; the results will still be provided by Google.
▲ Clicking “Ask” in the bottom left corner will call ChatGPT. Just enter your question, and ChatGPT will answer it immediately. Note that ChatGPT has a relatively high error rate; this question is clearly answered incorrectly, so please double-check before using it.
▲Continuing to ask further questions still yielded incorrect answers. The car in the image is an Asura AKF-0/G, not a Super Asura 01. ChatGPT has a high probability of misidentifying vehicles.
While Apple Intelligence’s “Visual Intelligence” feature is very useful, allowing you to screenshot content of interest and quickly find answers, the chance of error is quite high. Always double-check the information provided by ChatGPT to avoid unnecessary confusion!
