On Wednesday (19), Google announced new updates for its image recognition app, Google Lens, bringing enhanced features to iPhone users. Now, users can select and search for anything visible on their screens while using Google Chrome or the Google app.
Another major update includes a greater integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within Google Lens. The “AI-Created Overview” feature will now appear more frequently, providing smarter and more intuitive search results.
These new features are already available worldwide for iOS users in the Google app and will soon be rolled out to the Chrome app.
What are Google Lens updates?
The latest Google Lens update significantly improves image-based search for iOS users, making it easier and faster to find information. Here’s what’s new:

- AI-Powered Enhancements: The tool now uses AI more, delivering more detailed insights about images. Additionally, the AI-created overview will appear more frequently in search results, even without an initial question from the user.
These updates aim to make visual search more intuitive and seamless, improving how users interact with images on their devices.
