Google Lens will allow you to search from any screen on Android

During a recent show in Paris, Google announced a new Google Lens update coming to Android mobile devices. “In the coming months, Google will allow anyone using Lens on Android to search for anything on the screen. As Google said during the presentation, “If you can see it, you can search for it”.

Users will be able to search for a building name, food recipes, car models, or any images that may contain searchable information. It will also work across websites and apps, and you won’t have to leave the screen to perform Lens searches.

In the coming months, we’re introducing a ✨major update ✨ to help you search what’s on your mobile screen.

You’ll soon be able to use Lens through Assistant to search what you see in photos or videos across websites and apps on Android. #googlelivefromparis pic.twitter.com/UePB421wRY

At the same event, Google announced an update to its Multisearch feature: which allows users to search for images and add text to refine search results. Now you can add text and specify the kinds of results you’re looking for with the image.

In the tweet below, Google demonstrates that you can perform an image search and further refine the results by using the Lens feature and then adding a text search specifying a different style.

Multisearch is now live globally! Try out this new way to search with images and text at the same time. 🤯

So if you see something you like, but want it in a different style, colour or fit, just snap or upload a photo with Lens then add text to find it. 🔎#googlelivefromparis pic.twitter.com/4yT6voiJkn
