Remember that time you used Google Lens to identify a plant but forgot its name later? Well, searching through your search history won’t be a hassle anymore! Google Lens recently received a major update to its visual search history, making it much easier to find what you were looking for in the past.
Previously, accessing your Lens history involved opening a separate “Google Lens Activity” page that looked quite similar to your general Google activity. This wasn’t very user-friendly, especially when searching for specific visual searches.
Thankfully, Google has replaced this with a much more intuitive photo grid UI. This new interface appears directly within the Lens app and displays all your saved visual searches as a collection of images. Each image is accompanied by the date and time of the search, making it a breeze to pinpoint exactly what you’re looking for.
There’s more good news! Tapping on any image in the grid instantly reanalyzes it with Lens. This is a significant improvement over the earlier method, which simply downloaded the picture to your device without any further analysis. Now, you can quickly get updated information or perform new actions directly from your search history.
This update streamlines the process of revisiting past Lens searches and makes the entire experience much more user-friendly. Whether you’re on Android or iOS, you’ll soon be able to enjoy the benefits of the new photo grid UI in your Google Lens app. So, keep an eye out for the update and start putting your visual search history to good use!
