YouTubers Embrace New Google Lens Feature for Enhanced Search
YouTubers now have a new way to search for items as YouTube has introduced a new Google Lens feature to the search bar in the YouTube Android app. Google is expanding the visual search feature to offer users more ways to find things without using text and voice options.
If you are among the lucky early users who have received the rolled-out version, you can take advantage of the Google Lens Search feature by opening the fullscreen search page on your YouTube mobile app, revealing the Google Lens icon in the top right corner.
The Google Lens feature will be used to identify objects and optical characters. For example, if you take a picture of a computer keyboard, it will provide an option to search for “Keyboard” on the YouTube app. The feature also allows you to search for “Keyboard” on Google as well.
Google has stated that the feature is not yet officially available to over 2.49 billion monthly active users globally. However, when it becomes available to everyone, the feature will appear on all devices signed into the same account.
