Google recently updated the Google Search app for iOS devices and added the Google Lens visual search feature.
The Google Lens icon now appears in the search bar. Pressing it turns on the camera, which can then be aimed at objects, text, plants/animals, books/media, and QR/barcodes. Objects and items that Google recognizes will generate results that are displayed on the screen.
Google Lens is already part of Google Photos on iOS. This latest feature simplifies the process of searching based on images rather than words.
The updated version of Google Search for iOS is rolling out to users now.
