Measure

On supported models, you can instantly measure a person’s height from the floor to the top of their head, hair, or hat, and even measure a person’s seated height in the Measure app.

A line appears at the top of the person’s head, with the height measurement just below it, and you can take a photo of the measurement. You can access and share that image from Photos or Files whenever you want, and reset the height to take the measurement again.

A person’s height being measured in the Measure app, with the height measurement showing at the top of the person’s head. The Take Picture button is near the lower-right corner for taking a picture of the measurement. The green Camera In Use indicator appears at the top.

  1. Start the Measure app (in the Utilities folder) on your iPhone.
  2. Position iPhone so that the person you want to measure appears on the screen from head to toe.

    After a moment, a line appears at the top of the person’s head (or hair, or hat), with the height measurement showing just below the line.

  4. To save the photo, tap the screenshot in the lower-left corner, tap Done, and choose Save to Photos or Save to Files.
