The new update to Google Lens for Android mobile devices is due in the coming months. In the presentation, Google explained: “If you can see it, you can search it”. Users will be able to perform a search of anything displayed on the screen in the coming months using Lens on Android.
In the coming months, we’re introducing a ✨major update ✨ to help you search what’s on your mobile screen.
You’ll soon be able to use Lens through Assistant to search what you see in photos or videos across websites and apps on Android. #googlelivefromparis pic.twitter.com/UePB421wRY

Users can use Lens to search for anything such as building names, food recipes, car models, or pictures with searchable information. It will be accessible across sites and applications without having to leave the page.
At the same occasion, Google revealed a change in its Multisearch feature which permits people to do an image search and add text to sharpen the outcomes. Now you can include text to indicate the type of results you are hoping for with an image.
Multisearch is now live globally! Try out this new way to search with images and text at the same time. 🤯
So if you see something you like, but want it in a different style, colour or fit, just snap or upload a photo with Lens then add text to find it. 🔎#googlelivefromparis pic.twitter.com/4yT6voiJkn

As Google demonstrates in the above Tweet, you can use Lens to refine your image search then add a text search, specifying a different style to further refine your results.
