Iphones: iPhones in future can tell you what’s wrong with your car, here’s how – Times of India

There are times when it is impossible to read the tel-tel lights in the car’s instrument cluster and what they stand for is also a tricky thing to keep track of. However, iPhones in coming months may be able to tell you what these lights stand for to help you understand what’s wrong with your car, according to a 9to5Mac report.
How you may ask? Well, Apple has updated the Visual Look Up feature with iOS 17, that’s set to release in September this year. As a part of the update, the Visual Look Up on iPhone can now identify common symbols on the car’s instrument cluster.
Lights and symbols in the instrument clusters include vents, defrosting, ABS, fueling issue and more.
iOS 17 Visual Look Up update can detect a lot more things
According to Apple’s iOS 17 preview page, the updated Visual Look Up can detect a lot more than just the car’s tel-tel lights. The page mentions that users can look up things that they’ve lifted. Apart from this, users can now also pause a video and tap on the information icon to Look Up the particular object in the scene.
Notably, the preview page does not mention Visual Look Up’s capabilities about being able to tel users what those car symbols mean. The report also mentions that updated Visual Look Up can detect multiple things in a single frame. And it can provide users with the information on what that particular light means along with a small description about it.
The feature can detect several signals from the car’s dashboard. This includes climate control, headlight options, defrosting, etc.
How to access Visual Look Up on iOS 17
To use the Visual Look Up feature, users can open the Photos app on their iPhone and tap on an image. If the Visual Look Up detects that there are car lights and signals, then users will see an icon with a steering wheel. Tapping on that symbol can provide more information based on the image.
