Time to install Google Lens on your iPhone but little things should be kept in mind

Since technology is being used by most of us in almost every sphere of life, being dependent on such applications should be limited. As Google lens is like a support, i.e. it is like a helping hand to us which provides us with the best possible results, it could. But that doesn’t mean it will do all our work always and every time.

It is an AI-based tool/app, which means it will show the most accurate possible results to its users. But that doesn’t mean it can never go wrong. Sometimes Google Lens is not able to recognize the object properly and thus is not able to show accurate results. So, Google Lens keeps on improving day by day so that it can give the best possible results to its users.

Many new features are now being added to the Google lens to enhance its abilities and improve the experience for its users. Recently, Google has made an announcement that Lens is going to upgrade a feature, i.e. “Multi search”. You only have one image, and you can ask Google lens multiple questions about that image.  Like if we click an image of a kurta, we can ask multiple questions like what is its color, which type of material is used, where this will be available, what will be the price of it, and many others at the same time without any further delay. “Multi search” is now available in beta on both Android and iOS.
