Latest update lets you add important context to inquiries
Thanks to a recent update, Google Lens now allows you to add voice recordings to image searches, giving inquiries vital context. This feature appears to have been discovered by Android Police after they encountered a new glow animation on the app. According to the report, the glowing was over the magnifying glass icon, and tapping it caused a “Search with Voice” tooltip to pop up on the screen, informing them of the change.
Holding down on the shutter button expands it, and a message appears telling you to “Speak now to ask about this image.” You then proceed to issue a command or ask a question, and what you say appears on the screen as a floating text transcription. Google Lens will begin its search soon after you let go of the button, taking the recording into account.
