Google has made a new UI update to make Lens’ user search history more accessible. This update makes it easier to rediscover Lens’ visual search history and makes it easier for users to find their previous search data. So what exactly do these innovations offer?
Google Lens visual search history is being revamped
Google has made a major UI change to make users’ visual search history through Google Lens more organized and accessible. With the new update, users’ Lens visual search history will be displayed on a special interface page called “Lens history.” This page displays all your previous camera searches in a grid layout. You can access this grid by tapping the clock icon in the upper right corner of the Lens camera interface.
In the new interface, your Lens searches are grouped by month, and each thumbnail contains the date and time the search was made under it. Additionally, when you tap on an old Lens photo search, Google reanalyzes the data and displays the results again. You still have to tap the three-dot icon to download the photos.
Google Lens’ new image search history interface is now available on both Android and iOS devices. The feature, which was added to accounts in March, started saving Lens searches that were not previously stored on your device. This new interface allows users to view their image search history in a more organized way and quickly access the information they want.
Image search history can be enabled through your Google account. To do this, simply go to your Google account and go to Data & Privacy > Web & App Activity > Include Image Search History. Google Lens only records image searches made through the main Google app. Searches made through Google Photos or Circle to Search are not displayed in this history. Google Lens’ new image search history interface makes it easier and more organized to keep track of their previous searches. What do you think?
