­Google Lens has been considered the future of search since its launch last May. Different from the traditional search method of entering keywords, users only need to pick up the camera, and Google can automatically search for content related to lens objects. For example, by focusing the camera on the cover of a book, users can know where to buy the book nearby, as well as publishers, user reviews, and so on. Aim the camera at an oil painting and it will tell you the name of the artist and the history of the work of art.

­it's just that there are not many users using Google Lens at present, because this APP is exclusive to Google Pixel devices. According to the latest statistics from IDC, sales of the phone are not optimistic, with only 3.9 million units shipped last year.

­now Google plans to expand the use of the app. On Friday, the company announced that it would offer the product to more devices. "products can't be developed without algorithms, data and user feedback, and you have to find a starting point," Aparna Chennapragada, Google Lens's project manager, said in an interview on Thursday. But our idea is, how can we extend this application to more users or devices? "

­on Friday, the company said that Google Lens will be launched in the latest version of the Google Photos app for Android and iPhone (updated version of iOS 9), but currently the app only supports English.

­Google Lens will also log on to more devices through the Google Assistant app, including flagship phones from Samsung, Huawei, LG, Motorola, Sony and HMD/Nokia. Currently available only in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia, India, France, Italy, Spain and Singapore, but only in English.
