Google is making its Lens visual search tool smarter by adding more features from its Gemini artificial intelligence system. The update lets users get better answers when they point their phone camera at things in the real world. Now Lens can understand what it sees and give useful information right away.

People can take a photo of an object or place and ask questions about it. For example, if someone points their camera at a plant, they can ask what kind it is or how to care for it. Lens uses Gemini to look at the image and provide clear, helpful answers. It can also recognize text in photos and explain what it means in simple terms.
This deeper integration means Lens works faster and understands more complex requests. Users no longer need to switch between apps to find what they need. Everything happens in one place with just a few taps. Google says this change makes everyday tasks easier, like translating signs, identifying products, or learning about landmarks while traveling.
The new features are rolling out now on Android and iOS devices. They are part of Google’s effort to bring AI into daily life in practical ways. Lens has been around for years, but with Gemini’s help, it is becoming more like a personal assistant that sees and understands the world alongside you.

Google built this update using on-device processing where possible. That means some tasks happen directly on your phone, which helps keep things private and fast. Other requests go to the cloud when needed for more power. Either way, the goal is to make visual search feel instant and reliable.
