Earlier this year, Google Lens reached 500 million downloads on the Play Store. For an application that is not pre-installed on many devices, this milestone shows how useful it really is, and is only getting better thanks to a new update that makes it easier to select the images you want to analyze.
The image selector to the left of the shutter button will no longer redirect you to your device’s file manager. Instead, as seen by 9to5Google, this will now open a new gallery view that offers quick access to your screenshots – the images you are likely to want to import.
As you can see above, the new gallery view places the eight most recent screenshots at the top and the rest of the photos on your phone below.
Since Google Lens is updated through the Google app, make sure you have version 12.8 or higher to see this new feature – you can get the latest version in APK Mirror.
