Why is the Plant Identifier missing on my iPhone Photos?

This seems to be an ongoing issue - I am using 17.5.1 on a 15ProMax. Every time I take an image of a flower or any botanical the “i” info button does NOT included the plant identifier anymore. What gives and how do I fix this? is this issue fixable? Or do I have to go into a store? It’s very annoying.

Hello, I just found this "fix" and it worked!

Visual Look Up is linked with Siri. It draws information from Siri Knowledge, Maps, and photos available on the internet. You need to enable the Look Up toggle in Siri settings on your iPhone to use the Visual Look Up feature.

Hello again ~ Once you update you may want to try * Richard.Taylor’s* suggestion of the forced restart if it doesn’t appear. I usually do that after updating anyway. I hope updating provides a fix and forced restarting after updating if needed provides a fix. I find the Visual Look Up an excellent feature. Here is a prior post you can click on and there are some excellent examples of usage there…
