Google Lens is a visual search engine that describes using your camera you are seeing. To access the Google Lens, find the Google Search Bar on your phone or on the Google app. For example, on the Google app for Android, the camera is found inside the search bar at the upper part of the icon screen. On iOS, the camera icon is found directly under the search bar in the Google app. It opens the phone’s camera, which gives you something in which you want to take a deep sink. Once the subject matter is in your view Finder, press the search button (or if appropriate) for more information about this topic.
As it is doing with its numerous apps, Google wants to make Google Lens a clean shape. For example, when you open the lens, now there are only two options you can select: Find and translate. The third button, which was a dedicated “homework” element, has been removed. There is actually a legitimate reason why Google will do so. The company will prefer to use Gemini AI when you need some help in your school work.
Google rightly feels that Gemini is a better option here because it can go deep into a question or calculation and provide more than just the correct answer. Gemini can also explain how he did. With the questions that require calculation, Gemini can solve this question, while the question breaks into the steps that the student can learn. Removing the homework button also gives the Google lens a clean shape. In addition, the viewpinder on the lens screen is a bit wide.

If you are using the search option in the lens, you can now go into AI mode via search button to get more detailed search results about the item in front of your camera. The new shape for Google Lens has been published in the recently unveiled Galaxy Z Fold 7. I couldn’t get the latest lens on my Pixel 6 Pro, which runs the latest Android 16 Qpr1 beta version. Ironically, it appeared on the Google lens version in which my iOS 26 developer son 3 was installed on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. The same feature is also available on the iPhone 15 Pro in Apple, IPhone 15 Pro MaxAnd all iPhone 16 series models (including iPhone 16E). Called visual intelligence, this feature is available through the camera control button on the Lord IPhone 16 Except the series IPhone 16 e. On this model and IPhone 15 Pro And Pro Max can be found as a visual intelligence action button option. Although like Google Lens, Apple relies heavily for this feature on device processing by Apple, while Google turns the cloud for Google Lens.
