However, there’s no official announcement yet from Google. For the time being, users can use the Google Photos to fix your newly rolled out app.
To access the app, Android users should only open Google Photos. After opening the Google Photos, just select the picture and then tap the Google Lens’ icon. The app will then scan the picture and other information that are relevant to the object being scanned.
Apart from the Android phones and tablets, Chrome Unboxed has also noted that you could also enjoy the same functionality when using Chrome OS. You can make this possible if you download Android Google Photos app.
