The Lookup feature in Photos for iOS has always been really helpful at finding landmarks, or pieces of art, or details on animals – but with iOS 17 it’s got a few new tricks.
For example in this picture of some food there’s now a Lookup option at the bottom, and you might be thinking “well that’s great Jacob, it’s going to say it’s a lemon tart or a lemon cheesecake”, but actually it goes one step beyond that.
You see, if I tap onto that Lookup option not only do I get to see the name of that particular item of food I also get some suggested recipes as well.
Now there’s a quick disclaimer that it’s not 100% perfect – if you take a photo of a burger it’s not going to know exactly what sort of burger that is, but it’s a really good starting point.
For me I can actually find the recipe that I want and simply tap straight through and get the ingredients, the method, and I can start cooking if I wanted to – or I could just go back to the restaurant because this was delicious!
