So I have no idea what phones this works on but playing around with my android phone I just discovered if I click on a picture, regardless if it's a download or one I took, then when I click on it there is a few options to share, edit, delete etc but when I click "lens" while I am on data or wifi it will bring up other online pictures of the same thing with the name of whatever it is. So for example a picture of a flower I have no idea what it is but is in my pictures folder will bring up other pictures of the same flower from online and a description of what it is. I tried it on different pictures of stuff I have in my photo library and it so far is 100% accurate. So give it a try, saves searching google for figuring out the name of plants and pests. Lol, I love technology so much!!!

Isn't "lens" part of the google chrome suite of apps? In the pictures app maybe or is it in the chrome browser?
I checked google and when it was released in 2017 it was exclusive only to the Google pixel. But after a while they released an app for use with most phones. I think now they are just building in the software on some new phones because it came with mine and I don't see an app for it.
I think it is also in Google's Chrome browser, although I never used it I don't think you can take a pic with your phone and identify it using Chrome browser without uploading it to something, but I could be wrong about that.

I watched a youtube guy I follow say that ai will double the row crop yield. that is strong.
That sucksAfter 3 uses, the app requires payment for further use
I think it's only free for android, I guess because google is more associated with android then they are with Apple. I don't know, that sucks though.

Half is rubbing turtles (rote). The bots are finding more efficient roads by the numbers(synth+ai) . Human are creating something from nothing at the pHD level, Like compost really.
We live in a literal space bubble and one of the oldest books says there is nothing new under the sun.

Noting new under our sun, or one of the others in a different galaxy?
Today, I opened up my google app on my iPad and the search page came up as the starting page. And google lens is built into the app. Used it to search about a photo I took recently of a sawfly larvae on my cherry tree. Worked great. Hopefully there isn’t a limit to how many times I can use it.That sucks

Anyhow, it found me a safe solution to rid of them sawfly larvae:
