Why take notes when you can porno 21just take photos?
A viral TikTok showing a student using iOS 15's Live Text to copy, and digitize, a classmate's notes has renewed interest in the mostly overlooked feature. Live Text allows iPhone users with an iPhone XS or newer (and the latest operating system) to take a photo of text, highlight that text, and then copy and paste it.
While officially unveiled by Apple in June of this year, Live Text was only recently made available as part of iOS 15.
At least one French student clearly wasted no time in taking advantage of it.

And while we can't independently verify that the video hasn't been altered in any way by the original poster, the depiction of Live Text's capabilities is accurate (we tested it out on a photo of a computer screen taken from a distance and it worked).
