- The iPhone's camera app has a built-in feature that decodes laundry symbols.
- If a user takes a photo of a clothing tag, a "look up Laundry Care" suggestion will appear.
- Here's a breakdown of exactly how to use it.
Have you ever gone to look at the washing instructions on the tag of an especially fussy item of clothing only to find what looks like a bunch of hieroglyphs?
While it's certainly possible to find a chart somewhere and decode all of those confusing laundry symbols one by one, it turns out there's a much easier way — if you have an iPhone running iOS 17, at least.
The function is built into your iPhone's camera app, so no special app necessary.
