What they did
1) Use an iPhone that supports Visual Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence enabled in a supported language and region. Find a poster or flyer showing an upcoming event and a readable date. 2) Activate Visual Intelligence by clicking and holding Camera Control on a supported model, or through your configured alternate access method. Point the camera at the poster so the event details are visible. 3) When the event action appears, tap Add to Calendar, then Create Event. The event is added to the Calendar app. 4) Open Calendar and compare the resulting entry with the poster before depending on it. On versions showing an Edit option in the event flow, correct the extracted details and finish with Done.
Worth knowing
Availability depends on supported hardware, languages and regions. This camera workflow begins with a physical poster, rather than an image already on the screen.
