Google's image search feature has been around for a long time using the link images.google.com where you can make a search query using an image. Then Google Lens came in with added functionalities such as extracting and translating texts from the image. The said feature is now integrated into Google's homepage. "The google homepage doesn't change often, but today it did," said Rajan Patel, Google's VP of Engineering for Search. Google Lens now sits on the search bar (camera icon) along with the voice search icon. That applies to the Google app and widgets on mobile devices too. On desktop, once you click on the camera icon, you'll see the same UI in the screenshot above, which resembles the Google Image Search. After you drop or upload an image, you'll be redirected to the Google Lens page and get visual matches of the image from the web.
