Earlier this month Google has announced the availability of Google Lens on all Android devices, even non-Pixel ones. This weekteam he eventually started to possess and iOS devices, such as iPhone and iPad.
Google Lens is a photo recognition tool and comes built into the Google Photos. The app can give you additional information about what you see in a photo.
Google Lens is essentially an optics tool search. So if you visit a new city and want to know the name of a certain building, take a picture of it, and run Google Lens and it will recognize it.
Google Lens's visual search works with books, works of art, plants, animals, and more. It also works with business cards, brochures and billboards, offering event connections or allowing you to store company details in your contact list.
The feature was released for the first time last year on Google Pixel.
To get it on your iPhone, make sure to install the latest version of Google Photos. You can download the latest version of the application from the link below (you need the 3.15 version).
Download and test the Google Photos app on your iOS device
After installation, you can start the application and select a photo. In the uploaded photo, you will need to press the Google Lens button.
Once the app recognizes what's in the photo, it will give you any additional information about the subject of your photo. It doesn't work for everything though as the base data it goes on and gathers information (something Google knows how to do very well), but when it works it's awesome.
