tape measure app can automatically determine the height of a person. Shoe soles, heels, hairstyles and headgear are also measured.” width=”1024″ height=”484″ /> The iPhone and its camera are able to recognize people. In connection with the measuring tape app, the height of a person can be determined automatically. Shoe soles, heels, hairstyles and headgear are also measured.
Not only is a current version of the iOS 16 operating system required for the measuring tape app to work, but also a LiDAR scanner as part of the camera system on the back of the Apple smartphone. These models have this component, which helps to determine distances, shapes, sizes, lengths and the like (as of December 2022):

Instructions: Determine height with the iPhone
To measure the distance from the sole to the crown, the hairstyle or the top edge of the hat with one of the aforementioned or a newer "Pro" iPhone, proceed as follows:
Opens the tape measure app on your Apple iPhone
Aligns the camera on the back to the person to be measured
Make sure the person is in full view
After a short time, a line is displayed above the head, the hairstyle, the hat, etc. and the measured size below it
For a new measurement, you can put the device away for a moment or exit and restart the app
Shoes, hairstyles, hats and the like are not deducted
The measured height does not have to reflect the exact height of the person you are measuring with the measuring tape app on the Apple iPhone. Because, as already mentioned above, no additional calculations are made here to deduct the height of the shoe soles or heels or headgear. However, it gives you a tool if you need to prove that you are tall enough for a roller coaster or something similar :D You can also save the measurement as a photo as shown on the display by pressing the shutter button in the App pressed to save a screenshot.
