In June, we enabled a Google Lens redesign inspired by Google’s camera. It is now rolling out for some beta users of the Google app on Android.
This revamp notably removes the large icon carousel for accessing the various filters in the visual search tool. Instead, you get a redesign of the Lens interface inspired by the Google Camera app. This is highlighted by an edge-to-edge full-screen look that features rounded corners of the viewer.
Similar to Pixel phones, the filter switcher is now at the bottom of the screen with the modes directly named. You can swipe left / right to switch, with the icon displayed above on the search button. This change is crucial as Lens adds more capabilities. The previous approach required you to know all the icons.
Google has also moved the import button that opens your gallery to the left of the shutter. It was previously in the upper right corner, which is now just home to the overflow menu, while the flash is at the other end. Depending on the mode, the viewfinder has different framing guides.
In terms of functionality, not much has changed. Regardless of the new user interface, “Task” has been implemented to solve math problems.
The larger renovation has a more limited availability today. Not all users of the beta version of the Google app have the Lens camera redesign, but it is enabled in an account for us on various devices.
