Investing.com -- Apple Inc. is planning to integrate artificial intelligence into the iPhone's camera app by adding a new Siri mode alongside existing photo and video options in its upcoming iOS 27 operating system, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.

The company will move its Visual Intelligence feature, currently linked to the Camera Control button, into the camera app itself, according to the report. The feature will appear as a new toggle option alongside Photo, Video, Portrait and other existing modes.

The new mode will allow users to point the camera at an object and access services such as ChatGPT to ask questions about the object or scene. Users can also run a Google reverse image search for additional information.

The existing Visual Intelligence feature can extract information from real-world items, turn details from a concert poster into a calendar event, identify plants and animals, and retrieve information about a business such as phone numbers or menu details.

In its upcoming operating systems, Apple is redesigning the experience with a new shutter button styled after the Apple Intelligence logo, replacing the traditional white capture button used in the current Visual Intelligence.

The functionality will remain accessible by pressing and holding the Camera Control button, introduced on the right side of the iPhone 16 in 2024, but that shortcut will now launch the Siri mode within the camera app rather than a standalone interface.

Apple is expanding the feature with additional capabilities, including the ability to scan nutrition labels on food packaging to log dietary information. Users will also be able to capture and add contact details directly from what the camera sees.

The upgrades to iOS 27 and other Apple operating systems are scheduled to be unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, followed by a release to consumers this fall.
