If you wanted to take advantage of Google Lens and its image recognition feature, you’d either have to download the app for it or use it with Google Assistant. However what if you don’t want to download the app or use Google Assistant? What if you just wanted quick access to it while you browsed the web?The good news is that according to an announcement by Google, it appears that Google Lens is now available in Google Images on mobile. According to Google, “Starting today, 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.”
Google notes how integrating Lens into mobile Images search can come in handy. “Lens in Google Images can also make it easier to find and buy things you like online. 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.”
The feature should be live for those living in the US and will support English, but Google says that they will eventually roll the feature out to those living in other countries and who might be speaking a different language.
