Where is the Google lense button gone in Google photos app on my Pixel3

[mschmiechen]

In my old Pixel 2 day I was always able to analyse a picture with Google lense. This option is gone ... How can analyse a taken picture now?

Tap on any picture in your camera roll. At the bottom, the Lens icon is second from the right.

If you are in the viewfinder of the camera, you can click on the screen where you want to "scan" the item and it will try and pick it up.

Works really well on addresses (Web, Street & Email) and phone numbers.

 

[mschmiechen]

sure. but how you do this on photos already taken?

 

[ClintRo]

Photos that are already taken have the lens button

not on my pixel 3

You're saying you aren't seeing that Lens icon below whenever you select a picture from your camera roll?

 

[ClintRo]

Is is right there

 

[mschmiechen]

Hm. This is missing here. Any idea?

 

[ClintRo]

Are you running a beta version? Is your app updated? Are you on a pixel 3?

 

[mschmiechen]

no, really strange. yes I am on Pixel 3

On your old Pixel today, or on your old Pixel 2 day? What?

 

[mschmiechen]

it's missing in my pixel 3. it's really strange as Google lense is working in the camera app as well in the assistant. I tried to reinstall the photo and Google app but there is no change. really weird as I see to be the only one with this problem.

Have you tried uninstalling Google photos and then running the update again?

 

[mschmiechen]

thanks for dealing with this. yes I reinstalled both photo and gogge app

I get the info screen

Just curious - the picture that you happened to show the information for looks like it's from a series using the Top Shot feature. Are all of the pictures that you've taken using this option? Perhaps that has something to do with why the Google Lens option isn't shown?

 

[ClintRo]

Also what country are you from, maybe is in not available in your country?
