Mira is a reverse image search for photos. Add a picture and Mira searches the public web to show you where that image appears โ€” a list of links and matching pages you open yourself. It works like a visual search engine: you get public web results (links and thumbnails), and you decide which to open. Your search history stays on your device. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Reverse image search โ€” find where a photo appears across the open web. โ€ข Protect yourself โ€” see where your own photos show up online. โ€ข Spot reused photos โ€” check whether a picture has been copied or reposted (helps against catfish and fake profiles). โ€ข Search by photo โ€” match a picture to public pages that contain a similar image. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a photo. 2. Mira runs a reverse image search across public web sources (powered by a third-party search provider). 3. You get links and matching images โ€” open any result at its source. PRIVACY โ€ข Your results come straight from the public web; your search history stays on your device. โ€ข Your photo is sent to our search provider only to run the search, and is never sold. โ€ข Use Mira responsibly and legally. โ€” Mira offers search credits through auto-renewing subscriptions and one-time in-app purchases. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Unused credits may expire per your plan. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
