I’ve got an iPhone 13 pro. I upgraded the iOS to 18.0 a few days ago. Took photos of plants yesterday and I’m not shown the leaf when I access the info button on the new photos nor on any of the older ones where earlier I had been able to use the phone to get an ID (even if occasionally it was wrong). I hope someone knows how to get this function back.

OK, I figured out the problem. I was searching for "show related content" in the search bar. You have to instead scroll down to the "search" entry in the list (between home screen and Siri), click on that, and then you'll see the "show related content" button. Turn that on and it works.
Cool! I like pictures…
Yes! This worked! Thank you Richard Taylor ;-)
Thank you Richard Taylor , the visual guide as well as the explanation re Show featured content was a great help. I can now get a plant id when out walking in the countryside.

Me too, why do they change things. I loved the plant lookup.
Me again. The feature has mysteriously reappeared on both my iPhone 14 Pro and my M4 iPad Pro. I have no idea why, but I hope it stays working going forward.
Thank you! That worked beautifully!
I have this same problem, using Iphone 13 mini. However, I do not have the “Enhanced Visual Search” option. I have tried all the above suggestions to no avail. Is the 13 mini so much different then the others that makes this so difficult? Running ios 18.1. Thanks everyone.
For no apparent reason, the ID function has started working again. Strange as I did nothing - as in my previous post- all of the appropriate functions were turned on with no luck. Pleased that whatever the glitch was, it has disappeared.

I'd say, if this is still a problem for you, start a new thread and give a complete description of what's happening, including what suggestions you've tried. It will save those trying to help from having to backtrack to find what you mean, and it will be more useful to others.
We have 18.3. I finally found if I chose ‘search under the apps that it took me to a page where I could toggle the Show Related Content on.
However, husband’s phone doesn’t show ‘search.’ No idea how to fix
It seems like the plant identification feature may have been removed or changed in the iOS 18.0 update. You could try reaching out to Apple support for more information or consider using a third-party app for plant identification.
Thanks Richard! That did the trick!
Great! I hope that works for others…
Thanks Richard!! Happy i read your information. It worked.
Thank you, best answer so far, clear concise and it worked!
