One of the best explanatory bids I've ever seen. No hyperbole; no fabricated ultra-enthusiasm; no pseudo familiarity with the audience. Just clarity and specificity in a clear friendly tone. What a relief. Thank you.

Once there was this bird that had been "mocking" me for a whole year. Later that year my mom got me a new phone and it had google lens. I manage to get a pic of the bird. Turns out it was a northern mockingbird.

Never knew about google lens until today when doing a google search I decided to press the related icon to see what it was. Very good tutorial. Thank you!

That was as so hilarious when you popped up from the plant🤣🤣. Then at the end, your hair 🤣🤣😹❤️
Thank you so much for teaching me about Google lens. Just so you know, I asked Google about Google lens and I tapped on your video and it led me to your YouTube channel which I like bc I am always on YouTube. So keep up what you are doing. I appreciate it

Thanks for explaining clearly and concisely. I had google goggles as a separate app, just realized that its been changed to google lens and didn't know how to access it.

this is 2024 and I have just discovered the EXISTANCE of Google Lens. My life will never be the same.

This is so cool. It's good to know new things about our phones. We are so quick to purchase new phones, instead of maximizing the one we have. Awesome info! Thanks.

I expected Google Lens to be more like photo editing software but I'm glad I watched this. This was very informative and I will likely use it.

[rebadesmarais]

Great information which was shared without any shouting or background music!! I downloaded the app, subscribed and shared your link with my family. Thank you.

Using it from day one but only recently discovered that live translation feature. I was in an awe. 😮

[TealDiana]

Thank you so much! At 75 technology is moving a lot faster than I am but you made this very simple and I plan to use it often. Thanks again!

Thanks for this informative video! Google Lens came preinstalled on my LG Stylo 5 but I had no idea what it was.

Where is the Shutter button on Google Lens for Android? Very simple video, easy to follow instructions. Nice job! 🙂👍📱

Thanks for the nice video. It was short and focused yet enough to arouse one's interest and get started. ❤️

[ramblinrandal]

Thanks. A good, clear explanation. I only recently became aware of this app. This was really helpful.
