Visual Lookup in Photos app not working after iOS 18 Update

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.

Same thing here. I have an iPhones 14. Since the last iOS update I no longer have the feature. Everything that has been suggested has been done with no success.

Works for new taken photos when language is set to English (not in Dutch - if ‘i’ is clicked there will be a search light go over the photo but the icon doesn’t change to give more information) (change of Region doesn’t make it work). Google Photos without installed Google Search works with the lens icon for all photos. So Apple has to do something…

Same here. iPhone 13 Pro, English language and UK as zone, doesn’t show up at all, either in Photos (whether I took them or saved them) or in Safari.

“Show related content” was already turned on, toggled off and on anyway and restarted phone but still nothing.

How do I fix this?

I have the same issue. Ever since I installed iOS 18, the Visual Lookup in Photos app does not work. I have tried going into Settings > Apps > Photos > Search > and turned on "Show Content in Search" and it did nothing.

I went on my iMac running 15.1.1 (24B2091), launched the Photos app, and guess what? The Visual Lookup works great. So I hope Apple can fix this with iOS 18.2 when it releases. Visual Lookup is far more useful on my iPhone.

Tried this numerous times get no results message all the time.

Followed instructions, restarted, nothing changed. Still no identifier icon. ios 18 update needs some major attention!!

Go to- Settings>Apps>Photos>”Reset People & Pets Suggestions”

This is what worked for me…

Yes it doesn’t work for me either

Thank you so much for this. I was looking for "Search" under Photos instead of directly in the main Settings menu. Once I did what you said, it works fine now.

That's not true for me. A friend texted me a picture of her and her dog, and it identifies Boston Terrier. Another with her cat says Cat.

Found this fix and it worked for me. Settings - Search - Show related content (turn on)

Oh thank you so much kind sir, it worked for me and made me a happy camper again!

Thank you 🙏 so much!

Happy holidays 🎄

Go to settings, scroll down to "Search" and click on it. Once opened, turn on the option "show related content".

I'd like to know who / how mine got turned off in the first place.
