The feature allows anyone to use their camera to instantly scan text from any physical surface and copy it.
It can significantly cut down the amount of time it takes you to note things down – especially long things.
So if you see a poster with info you want to note down, or even a sign, whip your iPhone out and the camera app will do the hard work for you.
But a viral video has shown how it could be misused as well.
Yann Bernillie revealed how Live Text can be used to cheat.
In it, he stands behind an unsuspecting person typing away on their laptop and quickly nabs all their hard work.
