In case anyone came to the comments looking for directions on how to opt out:

  1. Go to Settings. 2) Scroll down and select "Photos." 3) Locate the "Enhanced Visual Search" option. Turn off the toggle.

For my iPad it was:

  1. Settings
  2. Apps
  3. Photos
  4. Scroll down to Enhanced Visual Search

Seems like this is on phones that are Apple Intelligence capable?

I'm on a 12 Pro, and I don't have this option. Guess I'm safe, for now...

I’m on a XR and have the option.

Maybe you ‘need’ an update. I see it on a 12 pro

I'm on iOS 18, hmm. Maybe it's region specific? Or just hasn't been rolled out to me yet, for whatever reason.

Might be an 18.1 or 18.2 feature

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Yep, I don’t see it either but that might be because I’m on an older iOS.

It will just reset itself eventually plus they already trained on it, it's too late.
