Search using an image works best when the image is likely to show up in other places on the web. So you'll get more results for famous landmarks than you will for personal images like your latest family photo. When you search with a picture, your results may include: • Similar images • The websites that contain these images • Other sizes of the picture you searched with You can search right from: • «Photos» app • Any browser: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. • Any cloud storage: Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. Subscription pricing and terms The subscription will automatically renew unless turned off in your iTunes Account Settings at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
