With Lens in the Google app (on both Android and iOS), you can easily search what you see and ask questions about the world around you. So if you’re new to Google Lens, or just want to learn some new tricks, here are some of our favorite ways that Lens can help.

1. Point your camera and ask a question

Want to learn more about what’s in front of you, like a piece of art in a museum? Just point your camera and ask a question. You’ll get an AI Overview with a snapshot of key information, plus links to explore helpful sites across the web. If you want, you can also ask your question out loud while you take a photo, the same way you’d point at something and ask a friend about it.
