How to search photos with Google Lens from Chrome

If you search for an image from your Android mobile in Google Chrome, you may have seen something that has not gone unnoticed. A small icon, corresponding to the Google Lens app, now appears at the top of the image, along with the other share and bookmark icons. We can see it in more detail in the following screenshot.

Well, we are going to tell you what this integrated Google Lens button is for in the Google image results.If you press it, you can 'draw' with your finger, on the photo, the element you want to search for. For example, in the following two screenshots, we have the image of a landscape made up of a plain with a tree. Imagine that you want photos similar to the image of the tree in particular: you only have to mark the area of ​​the tree with your finger. The outline will automatically become a search frame and images similar to the contents of the outline will appear.

In this way, Google integrates its Google Lens functionality into image results. Google Lens appeared some time ago to offer the user greater interactivity with the images they saw, or took with their camera. Thanks to Google Lens, for example, we can translate the text of a billboard in a foreign country, take a photo of a concert billboard and save the date on the calendar, identify a flower we see on the street with a simple scan, or even see on the Internet, pointing to the barcode of a product, if said item is more or less cheap in your favorite online store.

Google Lens is integrated, in addition to Google's stock camera, into its Intelligent Assistant. To make use of Google Lens, we just have to say 'Ok Google' and then say 'What's on my screen'? Right at the bottom, the Google Lens icon will appear and, if you click on it and grant the corresponding permissions, the camera will open and you will only have to point at your target. You can also download Google Lens as a separate app from the Google Play Store.
