Tech & AI | June 12, 2024, 8:34 a.m.
YouTube for Android has recently integrated Google Lens into its search bar, allowing users to access visual search capabilities directly from the platform. This new feature can be found on the fullscreen search page as a Google Lens icon in the corner, alongside traditional search options. Google Lens, known for object identification and text highlighting, provides users with a seamless way to search for content visually.
For example, users can take a picture of an object like an iPhone 13 Mini and receive related search results within YouTube. This integration expands search options beyond text and voice commands, offering a more dynamic and interactive search experience. While Google Lens in YouTube search is currently limited in availability, it is gradually rolling out to all devices linked to the same account. This move underscores Google's commitment to enhancing search functionality and providing users with innovative ways to discover content.
