The company also said that the app would soon come on Apple devices.

According to The Verge, certain phones, including flagships from Samsung, Huawei, LG, Motorola, Sony and HMD/Nokia would eventually be able to access "Google Lens" through the "Google Assistant".

"Google Lens" was announced during Google I/O 2017 conference. It brings up relevant information using visual analysis. 

If you direct the camera at an object, "Google Lens" will attempt to identify the object and show relevant search results and information.
