I want to identify plants out in the yard. Check to see if poison ivy or poison oak ?  
How can I do that?

If you have an iPhone you can take a photo, swipe up on it and click the i with ✨ next to it and it should say “Look Up - Plant”

Lol I didn't know this so an alternative (what I did) is download the Google app and you can do an image search on your phone either by taking a live picture or choosing from your photo library. That's how I started my journey to eradicate the Virginia Creeper that looks (and acts) like poison ivy. Unfortunately, it's trying to invade two of my strawberry patches 🤬.

You can buy Planta Premium to identify plants, or there are many apps out there for this use. I recommend PlantNet.
