Doing laundry will be made simpler using iOS 17, as the Photos app will gain the ability to recognize and provide explanations for laundry symbols. Here’s how to use it.
This feature can be particularly useful for identifying plants or animals, learning more about landmarks, or finding out information about books or artwork. It’s part of Apple’s broader push into using machine learning to enhance user experiences and is helpful in various scenarios.
Although the the effectiveness and accuracy of Visual Look Up can depend on the quality of the photo and the distinctiveness of the object being identified, it’s a cool way to discover more information about photos.
Laundry or care symbols are pictograms printed on clothing tags or labels to indicate how a particular item should best be cleaned. They provide guidelines for washing, drying, ironing, and bleaching.
Some clothing tags provide the symbols alongside care instructions, such as “Don’t bleach,” “Don’t iron,” or “Dry-clean only.” However, some tags only have the symbols without the instructions, which makes it confusing to follow the proper laundry instructions.
