(Representative Image)Meta Platforms-owned WhatsApp short messaging service has reportedly launched a tool that will allow iOS users to copy text from images but there is a catch. According to WABetaInfo, the feature uses iOS 16's APIs, which means it will only work on iPhones with iOS 16 installed. The feature uses the iPhone camera for text recognition and copies any text it finds on an image.
