User level: Level 1 (4 points)Just received my new iPhone 18 pro and I noticed I can’t copy text on photos or click links from screen shots. I’ve checked Live Text and it is currently on. Any suggestions?

Is iOS 27 installed on your new iPhone?
Then you will have to tap the rectangle with the three horizontal lines in the lower right corner of the photo with the text to be able to select and copy text from the image. The badge with the three horizontal lines needs to turn blue, and only then we can select and copy the text.
