Using Google Lens on iPad ? Facing Problem !!

[augustya]

Hi Guys,

I have installed Google Photos APP on my iPad but whenever I click on a Photo that I have uploaded/saved in Google Photos, I do not see the Google lens option in it ? Why is this happening ? How do I enable it ?

Since the question is more software related, maybe the mods could move it to the iOS board instead of the iPad board. Maybe more users can chime in there.

I think you would have to also have Google lens installed. However, It seems it's only available for Android at this time. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

But Google lens is a part of the default functionality of Google photos there is no need for installing a seperate google lens APP ! I mean is it ? Someone correct me !!

Got it. I pulled out my phone to try it. Open Google photos, go to a photo. Tap the odd button to the left of the trash icon.


Next, you get this screen.


Google then examines your photo,


Finally, it tells you about the photo.

Thanks for the step by step description, but my problem is when I go to a photo in Google Photos I do not get the small Google lens icon/option only in the first place besides the Trash Icon that you are talking about !!

This means it’s not available for iPads.

Which is a shame. But I have great faith in Google. Their updates are fast and furious.

We hope so.

We hope so.

I've just finished my level one and two Google certifications. In between the two tests, they removed around three features that were scheduled to be on the test, and added in two new ones. Microsoft certifications are forever - you have to recert every three years with Google.

Now if they'll just do an app for Sites, I may never need an actual computer again!

But is it really confirmed ? That it is not available for the iPad's ?

I just checked on my iPad and it IS available on my iPad.

Uh ? So what am I missing here ?? Why is it not showing on my iPad ?? is it because of the iOS version 9.3.4 that I have ? But google says all you need is iOS ver 3.xx and you are good to go !! So why is it not showing to me ? on my iPad ??

It might be that some of the features requires higher OS version.

Ps. Google says iOS 9.0 or later. Not 3.0.

I think half of my problem hopefully should get resolved when I upgrade to the 2018 iPad Pro with a iOS 12 ! Later this Year ! Phew ! That should come as a Blessing to me !! Long Time waiting !!
