Lens in Google Assistant Rollout

[anon(10092459)]

I just checked my Pixel and I don't have this yet. Seems it started rolling out Friday night. Just curious if anyone has gotten in GA today.

I'm really looking forward to this feature. Probably in my top 2 with Visual Core, that I'm really anticipating.

*Sigh" Now, I'm going be checking my Pixel all day.

Good to know it's actually hitting devices.

Was this a play store update?

Open a photo and see if you have the icon.... second from right at the bottom

I've got it in Google Assistant (and Photos).

Thanks Mike, I've got that one that's built into photos. I'm looking for the one built into GA. That's the one rolling out, I believe.

Is this a system update? I just installed my Verizon sim trying to force this update and got nothing

Haven't received the update yet, but now I'm getting excited!

 

[Almeuit]

Not seeing it yet.

These things are often server side updates and have nothing to do with a Play Store update (other than if you don't have the up to date play services)

Google tends to be pretty cautious rolling out updates. They'll update a bunch of phones and see how that goes, then enable another batch.

It'll just out of the blue enable itself...

Didn't this used to be Google Goggles...?

A bit confused here...

I have a Pixel 2 XL and, of course, it has Google Assistant installed. I'm guessing as a component of the Google app?

So, anyway, I visited the Play store from my phone and, after a quick search, found this, which begs the question - is this the same Assistant already on my device? If so, why does it offer an "Install" button? And, what would happen if I chose to install this version?
