I just happened to squeeze my P2XL to set a timer, and I noticed the Lens icon. I have been checking for the update since it was announced, and now it's here!

I've been walking around my apartment checking things like a madman. Unfortunately I don't have a lot in here to really test it. And it's cold and dark outside right now. So I will have to wait a little while to really put it through its paces. But so far I like it. A lot.

That one's been there for a while it's also in pictures, apparently it's supposed to show up in the camera but I haven't seen it there yet

Pretty cool feature

There's a camera app hack that puts it in the camera, but is Google supposed to release an official camera update Google Lens?

Yes it will come via a Google Framework update in the background randomly.

I finally got it. Bottom right of assistant.

How do you get the camera app to set a timer with a squeeze? I don't find a setting in the camera app, please let me know about that.

It sounds like they were just squeezing to access assistant so they can start a timer. Not necessarily for the camera...could be wrong, but that's how I interpreted it.
