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.
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18
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.

I updated to iOS 18.0.1 and still am not able to id my plant!
where is “Show related content” pls?
I love that visual ID stuff. It works for me in iOS 18, but it took a day or two to catalog all the scans.
Check "Settings>Search>Show Related Content" and see if that's turned on.
How about Enhanced Visual Search-- is it turned on in Settings>apps >Photos? (Honestly, I don't know what these do-- but they sound relevant. Turning them on may still take time to work.)
I have both of those on and there’s no plant ID. I don’t have a “show related content” button. I’m running 18.0.1
Thanks Richard,
Turning on “Show Related Content” did the trick.
It’s weird that I lost the plant ID function without being asked or told how to restore it.
Settings App -
Search menu -
slider switch near the top of the screen “Show Related Content”
Had the problem, found the solution here just now. Yes it works.
iPhone 12 mini running iOS 18.0.1
My iphone13 pro doesn’t have Show Related Content. The Enhanced suggestion is turned on. Any ideas?
This worked! I went to Apple Support and they didn’t even know to tell me this fix to get the plant identifier back after the upgrade to iOS 18! Yay!
RavynQ my 12 mini running iOS 18.1 started showing the "leaf" info icon under photos after I reenabled "Show Related Content" (see above comment) so I'm sure your 13 mini has the same capability. Maybe there is another setting that also needs to be enabled? Maybe you can find something that seems to be related in Settings->Camera or in Settings->Search->Camera. But at the very least maybe just shutdown and restart the phone to see if the problem resolves.
I’ve tried both of what you suggested and they’re already toggled on. I just did the recent update. I’m thinking it stopped with the update before. Any other suggestions?
This worked for me. Thank you!
I just updated to iOS 18.1 as well and still can’t ID either. But if you go to settings then search then show related content. Mine is on but it’s not making a difference for me.
I have everything turned on, in Siri, search and photos as suggested. I have turned all the sliders on and off and have restarted the phone - no luck. 15 pro max running 18.0. Annoying. Any other suggestions?
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.
I have Show content on plus Enhanced and it still does not work? Just an i for info and no result. I have switched my phone off twice. iPhone 15 Pro. I regret doing the 18 upgrade! Apple needs to sort this out.
