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’ve tried that as well and restarted the phone. Still no id feature
It didn’t work for me 🤔
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.

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.)
There are short explanations directly in the Settings.
Mjfjhag, I have a 12 pro running iOS 18. Look at Settigns>apps>Phtoos
If anyone else has this problem, Go to settings, click on SEARCH and toggle on ‘Show Related Content’ et violà!
This worked for me. Thank you!
I found it, in Settings > Search > turn ON Show Related Content. Also, make sure you have a language that is supported. I already had English and Spanish, and those are supported.
Cool! I like pictures…
Why do they make this so hard? Why do they drop the ball on features that are enjoyed so much? Does anyone at Apple even see these posts?
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.
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.
Can’t ID plants in photos after iOS 18.0 update
