A powerful image recognition technology called Google Lens is integrated into the Google Photos Android app. With Google Lens, you can scan barcodes, identify objects and translate text. So if you’re wondering if the tree you photographed a few weeks ago is an oak or a maple, you can find out within seconds.
To access Google Lens, launch the Google Photos app and find a photo with the object you want to identify. Tap the photo, then tap the Google Lens icon at the bottom, located to the right of the trash can. Google Lens should automatically identify what’s in your photo and display search results for similar images.
You can also use the Google Lens feature in the Google Photos Android app to translate text: locate a photo with text, tap the Google Lens symbol, select the text you want to translate, and press the Translate button. Your translated text will appear as an overlay on the original image.
