Those in the know understand how helpful Google Lens is for optical character recognition (OCR). But you might not know that the feature is accessible through Google Photos. The company doesn't want you to overlook that fact anymore by making it a more prominent part of the app. 

Google Lens now shows up with its icon at the bottom bar alongside the share, edit, and delete buttons. It also shows up in the info sheet when you swipe up on an image. 

You'll see a new "Search inside this photo" card underneath the date and time. It'll help extract info on text in screenshots or other photos. You can even select text in pictures, with Google Lens giving you the option to Copy text, Search, Listen, and Translate. 

This new look is accessible for Android on the latest version (5.33) of the app. Google hasn't updated its Photos app on iOS since December, so we can't say when it's coming to Apple's platform.
