Yup, rebooted a few times. It’s been gone ever since I went to iOS 18.1 dev beta and it’s been gone ever since. I’ll try rebooting again.
Got a tip for us?

This is what it would look like
Unless I’m missing something in the photos options where it’s turned off but I checked and I don’t see an option for that. I’m on a 15 Pro.
Yeah, I don’t see a setting for it. Hopefully, the reset brings it back. Or beta 4 does, if not.
Yea, I reported it during the feedback app so I’ll see what happens. Thanks for your help.
Settings > Search > Show Related Content should be ON. I had the same issue with iOS18.0 which turned off that setting at some point. Once I turned it on, started working instantly. Hopefully that works for you.
When I long press it does highlight the item, but the lookup feature is not available at all, I checked that too.
Only have these options….
Same issue. I the latest test photo I have two dogs and the selection keeps wanting to select both at the same time.
Have this issue on both the iPad Pro 11 M4 and 15 ProMax.
I am also finding if the selected item has text in it, the system wants to select the text instead of the object.
My tan dog with a brown fence in the background sometimes lets me select him and sometimes doesn't depending on the photo. But I don't think the selection got any worse with iOS 18 over 17. Are you thinking it has gotten worse in the betas?
BOOM this solved it. Thank you!!
Apple should not make it so hard to find the settings for things like this. You’d think they’d put the actual name of the feature (“Lookup”) in the metadata for the setting so that you could actually find that setting if you type “Lookup” in ever settings search field.
I think it is a beta bug. I have seen similar in other betas and it comes and goes. For 18.1 the incorrect selection for things like this seems to ne more persistent. So, worse. JMO
I decided to erase all content and settings and restore from backup, after which it downloaded ok.
Ran into a new issue.
Was using my AirPods Pro2 to listen to a conf call via Teams on 15 ProMax.
Reading the news on my iPad Pro.
Switched the Teams call to my laptop, put the 15PM to sleep, switched my APP2 to the iPad.
Nothing. It showed connected to the iPad but no sound. I unlocked the 15PM and the same - connected with no sound.
Had to kill BT on both 15PM/iPad and then turn it back on. The APP2 then connected with sound to the iPad.
I can replicate this. If I start with APP2 on the 15PM and swap to the iPad Pro 11 the APP2 sounds fails 100%. If I start with the iPad and swap to the iPhone, it works just fine. Just found this so I do not know if this already existed on prior betas. I do know this didn’t exist on 18.0 before I jumped to 18.1

Any idea how to get Live Activities to start again once they’re dismissed…?
Going into the app settings and toggling Live Activities off/on doesn’t work. Restarting the phone doesn’t work. This is insane…
Only thing I can think of is to force close the app and see if it comes back again. Or go into settings for the app, turn off live activites, restart and then turn it back on.
I have that problem when it switches to my AppleTV quite often. No beta software there. Not sure if it is the firmware on the airpods or what. I just restart the AppleTV and all is well for a week or so.
Yeah, none of that works. Very frustrating. Wonder if this happens with 18.0, too…
I just tried on 18.0. I swiped away a live activity. Force closed the app and when I reopened, the live activity came back. App was flighty. Maybe the issue is specific to one app?
Well that’s interesting. Yeah, I’ve had the issue with two different apps: Google Maps & Yahoo! Fantasy. Both apps never, ever showed Live Activities again once I dismissed them the first time. No amount of restarting or toggling the setting on/off fixed the issue.
You’d think that force closing and reopening the apps would trigger the Live Activity to reappear…
Same here! Knew something seemed missing. Pressing on the item to “look up” shows me the same as what you posted. Copy, Add Sticker, Share…. Phone is set to USA region, as is language. Hopefully b4 fixes it
This fixed it for me
