Google Lens launches on iOS to power visual searches within the Google app

CNET:

The Google Lens AI smart search app is rolling out for iOS users, Google announced Monday. The feature was released for Android in March but was only accessible to iOS users through the Google Photos app.

Now, instead of having to take a picture and use Lens through the camera roll, iPhone and iPad users can tap the Google Lens icon in the Search bar.

Google Lens can recognize text in images, look up words, save email addresses or call people. Lens is also designed to help shopping searches.

Up until this year, I might have used this frequently. Now, I try to use Google products as little as possible.
