It’s now getting integrated into the Google app’s built-in browser (for Discover and the search engine).
Meanwhile, Google Lens on iOS is primarily available through Search. In the demo at Search On 2021, this opens a right side panel of “Visual matches.” This ability to see search results “without leaving the page you’re on” will also extend to text.
We first spotted this behind a testing flag in July, with the upcoming launch being slightly more refined.Ī “Search Part of the Page with Google Lens” button lets you “Drag over any image to search.” This allows for more precise lookups that don’t default to the entire photo. In Chrome for Android today, long-pressing on an image lets you “Search with Google Lens.” That will also be available in desktop Chrome when right-clicking. In addition to the big MUM upgrade that lets you ask questions about a photo, Google Lens is getting more prominent on iOS and in desktop Chrome.
