Google Lens Guide: Mastering Visual Search for Everyday Use

In the technological era, we all love shopping for new items. Often, we see something we like that belongs to someone else and want to buy it ourselves, but we don’t know where to find it. Sometimes, we hesitate to ask strangers about their belongings. Now, we can easily search for desired items online by scanning the object or using our gallery favourite list using Google Lens.

Google Lens is available through the app, Google Photos, and Google Assistant. It’s pre-installed on most Android devices, and iOS users can download it from the App Store. However, as shown below, we can use it via Google without downloading the Lens app.

Use Google Lens for shopping

Search products online by scanning objects.

• Sometimes, you want to search for an item in a different colour. We can also do a multi-search with the Lens, like
• Open Google Lens in Google Chrome or launch the app on your phone or laptop.
• Scan or upload a picture. Click the picture or select from the gallery you want to see in a different colour. Type a colour name you want to see, “like green,” next to the image, and hit enter. You will get results in green. 
• Another cool feature is pattern matching! Let’s suppose we can find a fun shirt, and we would love that pattern for our Curtains. To do so, we can image the shirt in Lens, swipe up, and type curtains in double quotes (” “). You will get specific options in that pattern.
