Back in June, we enabled a Google Camera marrow-inspired redesign of Google Lens. Now it’s rolling out to some Google App beta users on Android.
This improvement eliminates the carousel of large icons for accessing various filters of the Visual Search tool. Instead, you’ll find a redesign of the lens interface inspired by the Google Camera app. This will be illuminated by a fullscreen, edge-to-edge look with rounded viewfinder angles.
Like pixel phones, the filter switcher is now at the bottom of the screen with directly named modes. With the icon at the top of the search button, you can swipe left / right to switch. This change is crucial as the lens adds more capabilities. The previous approach required you to be familiar with each sign.
Google has also moved the import button that opens your gallery to the left of the shutter. It used to be in the upper-right corner, now home to the overflow menu, while Flash is at the other end. Depending on the mode, the viewfinder has different framing guides.
Functional wise, not much has changed. Independent of the new UI, “homework” has been rolled out to solve math problems.
Extended improvements today are seeing more limited availability. Not all Google Apps beta users have the lens c .My redesign, but it is enabled on one device for us on many devices.
