If you use Google Chrome, we think you will like this.
Since it was first released in November 2017, one of our favorite smartphone apps has been Google Lens. Use it when aim your smartphone’s camera at an object and Google will identify the subject and provide more information about it for you. Or aim the camera at a foreign-language sign or menu and the app will translate it.
However, many Apple IOS, Microsoft Windows, and Google Android users might not know that this month Google has built Google Lens into the Chrome browser for all those operating systems. On desktop or laptop computers, pull-down on the Chrome browser’s menu and you’ll find ‘Search with Google Lens’. Use that command and use your mouse or trackpad to draw a box around something or someone you see in your browser results. Google will try to identify and provide more information about that subjects.
You should similarly see the Google Lens icon in the URL bar of your smartphone’s Chrome browser. Press that icon and your smartphone will automatically open Google Lens to photograph and identify or translate the subject.
