Google Lens allows you to identify objects of interest in an image on Google Maps or Google Photos, but the tech company has now also integrated it into Google Images.
All you have to do is tap the object in the image you want to learn more about and dots will appear around the object so you see exactly what the object being focused on is.
It is useful when you’re trying to figure out stuff you want to buy for example, as Google will bring up any possible matches online.
“When you see something in an image that you want to know more about, like a landmark in a travel photo or wallpaper in a stylish room, you can use Lens to explore within the image. Lens in Google Images also helps website owners by giving them a new way to be discovered through a visual search, similar to a traditional Google Search. For example, you might come to Google Images looking for ideas to redecorate your living room. During your search, you come across a couch you like in an image, but you may not know what style it is or where to buy it. All you need to do is press the Lens button, then either tap on a dot on the couch, or draw around it, and Google Images will show you related information and images. From there, you can learn more about it, or find places where you might be able to buy a similar couch.”
