Whether you can&#8217;t get enough of the jacket you saw your favorite actor wearing in a TV show, or you absolutely have to have the chair you saw in an Instagram post, Google Lens is there to help.<\/p>\n<p>Without knowing the product&#8217;s name, you can use Google Lens to find shopping listings and similar products within seconds. Simply grab a photo or screenshot, run it through Google Lens, and watch as the information appears on your iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just for shopping, though. Say you come across an adorable dog breed and want to know more about it\u2014what it&#8217;s called, how much exercise it needs, etc. Google Lens can tell you with a single photo.<\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s latest mobile search feature can also help you solve that tricky math homework problem with a photo of the equation, translate that Korean menu you can&#8217;t read, or help you figure out if that plant you found is poisonous.<\/p>\n<p>Google Lens is a new way to search. It&#8217;s quick, efficient, and extremely easy to use. Here&#8217;s how to use it on your iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-Google-Lens-on-iOS-iPadOS-device\">How to use Google Lens on your iPhone or iPad<\/h2>\n<p>Despite using an Apple handset, you can still use Google Lens by installing the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/google\/id284815942\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Google<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/google-chrome\/id535886823\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Chrome<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/google-photos-backup-edit\/id962194608\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Google Photos<\/a> app.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re weighing between the Google app and the Google Photos app, it&#8217;s important to note that <strong>Google Photos does not allow real-time search<\/strong>.
