How to Track a Flight on iPhone with Live Text

Live Text has so many use cases that you might not even know about. For example, you can point your camera at a flight number and get the latest information about that specific flight. Before you start, make sure that the Live Text feature is enabled in Settings. Here's how to track a flight on iPhone using Live Text:

1. Open the Camera app.
2. Point your iPhone camera towards the image with your flight’s information. I'm using a computer screen for this example, but you can use a departures/arrivals board at the airport, a piece of paper, or anything else with your flight information listed clearly on it. You can even take a screenshot of your iPhone screen and use Live Text to access flight information there. Tap the Live Text icon.
3. Tap either your flight number in the image or, if a flight number icon appears at the bottom of your image, you can tap that as well.
4. Tap Preview Flight.
5. A map along with the flight’s status, arrival and departure times, and duration will pop up.
6. Tap Done once you’ve finished viewing.

And that's it! Now you know how to check your flight status on iPhone easily using Live Text. Next, find out how to send flight info on iMessage.
