How to use Detection Mode in Magnifier on iPhone or iPad with LiDAR | Apple Support

Starting in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, you can use your iPhone or iPad with LiDAR to help you identify when people and objects are near while moving around. You can use People Detection, Door Detection, or Image Descriptions in Magnifier to get rich descriptions of your surroundings, including text and symbols around a door, how far away you are standing, and even how to open it.

I think the fact that we are thinking about making our products more accessible to people with disabilities is a huge advantage for Apple.

I understood it says you have to have LiDAR, but I didn’t understand that it only came on the pro models are better, I’m totally blind and that would be a sweet feature but I have the 13 mini because I don’t want a large phone due to the fact that I don’t need the screen, what a bummer

just a question, if someone that cant see, how are they supposed to get to the magnifier or choose what is in front of them?

[JDoG]

That’s a lot of buttons for a blind dude to get through

With my iPhone 14 Pro, I can use "human detection" and "door detection", but I can't use the image description. Do I have to turn on some other settings, or I'm a minor, so Screen Time is turned on, but do I need to turn it off?
