As of my last update in September 2021, you can perform a reverse image search on your iPhone or iPad using a couple of different methods, including using search engines and dedicated reverse image search websites. Here’s how:

Method 1: Using Google Images (Safari Browser)

  1. Open Safari: Launch the Safari web browser on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Go to Google Images: Visit the Google Images website by going to www.google.com and tapping on “Images” at the top of the search bar.
  3. Access the Reverse Image Search: Tap on the small camera icon in the search bar. This will open the reverse image search feature.
  4. Upload Image: You can upload an image by either choosing it from your device’s photo library or taking a photo with your camera. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the image.
  5. View Results: Google will process the image and display search results that are related to the image you uploaded.

Method 2: Using Dedicated Reverse Image Search Websites (Safari Browser)

  1. Open Safari: Launch the Safari web browser on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Go to a Reverse Image Search Website: Visit a dedicated reverse image search website like TinEye (www.tineye.com) or ImgOps (www.imgops.com).
  3. Upload Image: Follow the website’s instructions to upload the image you want to reverse image search. You’ll typically find a button to upload or search by image.
  4. View Results: The website will process the image and show you related search results based on the image.

Method 3: Using Apps (Optional)

There are also apps available on the App Store that specialize in reverse image search. Some apps might offer additional features or a more streamlined experience compared to using a web browser. Examples of such apps include “Veracity” and “Reverse Image Search App.”

Please note that the specific steps and methods might vary slightly based on updates to iOS, the Safari browser, and the reverse image search websites. Additionally, the availability of features can change over time. Always ensure you’re using reputable websites or apps when conducting reverse image searches, as some websites might contain harmful content or violate copyright laws.
