What happened Google Lens?

Google Lens is an image recognition technology developed by Google. It uses visual analysis to identify objects, landmarks and other aspects of an image. Google Lens can also be used to search for similar images, scan barcodes, perform pricing comparisons and other online tasks.

It integrates with Google Photos, Google Assistant, the Google Chrome app and Google Pixel phones.

Google launched Google Lens in 2017 as a way to provide visual intelligence to the Google mobile search experience. Google Lens operates through artificial intelligence and machine learning, allowing it to identify objects and landmarks in an image and provide related search results.

In July 2018, Google released the Google Lens app on Android and iOS.

Google Lens works by scanning an image to recognize objects and context. By using a combination of computer vision, image processing and natural language processing, it can identify objects and provide users with further information and options.

Google Lens accesses the Google Knowledge Graph in order to provide more detailed information about the recognized objects. Google Lens also includes features such as a barcode scanner and a currency converter.

Google Lens can be used to search for similar images and scan barcodes on physical products. It can also be used to detect text and translate it into other languages, to learn about popular landmarks and to read reviews about objects or restaurants.

Google has also integrated Google Lens into Google Photos, allowing users to quickly search for related information related to photos in their library.

How do I turn off my image search?

To turn off image search, you need to take two main steps. Firstly, you should clear your browsing history, cache, and cookies. This will remove any search terms, website data and other information that your browser has picked up while you use it, including what you have searched for.

To do this, open up the browser menu and select ‘options’. From here, you will have access to a list of the browser’s security settings. Select ‘clear browsing data’ and tick the boxes for the data you wish to delete.

When you’re done, click ‘clear data’.

Secondly, to ensure image search is turned off, you should change the settings for the sites you visit. Head to the security and privacy option, and disable ‘accept cookies from site’ and ‘enable search suggestions’.

This should prevent your searches from being tracked in the future and give you more control over your data. Finally, it’s a good idea to change the settings for how images are handled on the site. Select ‘disable auto loading images’ and ‘disable image loading completely’ to ensure your search is not recorded.

Is Google Lens the same as Google Image Search?

While Google Lens can use images to identify what is in them, it does not search the web for related images.
