Have you ever seen a clip of a movie on social media and couldn't figure out what it was from? This new shortcut acts like a 'Shazam for video,' allowing you to instantly identify a movie or TV show by simply taking a screenshot. It leverages on-device intelligence to analyze the image and provide you with potential titles, saving you from the frustration of manual searching.
This feature is a powerful new shortcut called What Movie or Show is This? that you can add to your Control Center for quick access. When activated, it captures your screen or uses an existing photo and sends it to an AI model for visual analysis. The shortcut then presents a list of likely titles directly on your screen, complete with confidence percentages to help you determine the most probable match.
For the most accurate results, use a screenshot that clearly shows a character's face or a distinctive scene. While the shortcut can be triggered in multiple ways (like Back Tap or the Action Button), running it from the Control Center is ideal as it automatically hides the interface before taking the screenshot, ensuring a clean image for analysis.
The What Movie or Show is This? shortcut transforms your device into a powerful media identification tool. By integrating screenshot functionality with advanced AI, it provides a fast and effortless way to discover the titles of movies and shows you encounter online. Add it to your Control Center to turn curiosity into answers with just a single tap.
