Major Upgrade for Google Lens: Introducing Revolutionary Video Search Feature!

In an exciting development for tech enthusiasts and everyday users alike, Google has officially begun the rollout of its long-anticipated "Search with Video" feature for Google Lens, a functionality first teased at the Google I/O event earlier this year.

Since its debut in 2017, Google Lens has seen substantial enhancements, particularly with the introduction of generative artificial intelligence. This feature allows Lens to provide detailed, AI-generated responses to images uploaded by users, transforming the way we interact with the app. Additionally, its integration with the highly regarded Circle to Search has further enhanced its capabilities as Google continuously adds innovative features.

According to a recent update from tech commentator Mishaal Rahman on X, the video search feature is now accessible on select Android devices. Although some users may experience difficulties—such as a failed attempt on the Galaxy Z Fold 5—the potential benefits of this new functionality are impressive. The "Search with Video" capability allows users to record short video clips of their surroundings or products and pose questions regarding the content. The advanced AI will then provide relevant search results based on these inquiries. In locations where AI overlays are supported, users can receive even more detailed, AI-generated answers.

Unlocking this feature is straightforward: users only need to access Google Lens and press the shutter button to record video. This ability promises to empower users in scenarios where still images aren’t sufficient—think troubleshooting a malfunctioning gadget that only acts up while in use.

But that’s not all! Google Lens has also recently introduced "Search With Voice," which also utilizes the shutter button for activation. This development suggests a shift in user behavior, where video and voice searches may take precedence over traditional static image searches. Meanwhile, Apple users can look forward to an upcoming feature that will transform their iPhone 16's camera into a visual search engine as well, ensuring that they too will benefit from cutting-edge search technology.

With Google’s commitment to enhancing Google Lens and integrating these features across top Android devices, users can anticipate a more intuitive and resourceful search experience.
