How to use Google Lens on iPhone, iPad

Google Lens is a content recognition app from Google that retrieves more information from an image. This includes language translation, getting information on products, menu from several restaurants and getting background information on monuments, places and more.

At the time of launch, this app was restricted to only Google Pixel devices and later Google started rolling out for other Android and iOS devices. It made easier for users to access this feature by adding it to the Google Photos app. However, there's a separate app called Google Lens for Android smartphones, but that's not the case with an iPhone or iPad. In a recent update, Google has added the Google Lens icon directly into the search bar of the Google app.
So, in case you also want to use this feature on your iPhone and iPad, here're a few ways you can get Google Lens on your iOS device.
