Release Notes
Take and Upload Photos on iOS
Take and upload photos directly in the Harvey mobile app, bringing the same image recognition experience available on web to mobile.
What's New
Harvey has brought enhanced image recognition to iOS, so you can upload, capture and analyze visual content directly within the mobile app:
- Capture a new photo in-app with your device camera or upload an existing image from your photo library
- Analyze images such as handwritten notes, screenshots, exhibits, drawings, or diagrams alongside your Harvey prompts and workflows
Note: For text-based documents, use the mobile app’s Scan feature, which optimizes your device's capture settings for documents.
Why It Matters
You no longer need to be at your desktop to upload and analyze visual content in Harvey. Image capabilities on iOS let you upload existing images or capture new ones directly within the Harvey app, making image-based work accessible from anywhere.
How to Use
- In the Harvey mobile app, select the + in your Assistant thread.
- Choose Photos from the Add to Chat menu.
- Select Take Photo to capture a new image, or Choose from Library to use an existing one.
- Once your photo is added to the thread, type a prompt or question to tell Harvey what you'd like it to do with the image.
Note: You'll need to grant Harvey access to your Camera and Photos to use this feature. In your device's Settings, go to Apps → Harvey to adjust these permissions.
