I don't want to have the Google app on my phone but need the lens app. But after uninstalling the Google app, Lens is also gone. I just want to know if there is any way to use the lens app without the Google app installed.

This is a shortcut that lets you search images using Google Lens in your browser—no need to download the Google app! You just share any image with the shortcut, and it’ll automatically open Google Lens in your browser for the search. Super simple and handy.

I need a simple and fast alternative to google lens, i tried to look around and i found just ugly and user unfriendly apps. what do you guys suggest?

Anyone else having issues downloading language packs for Google Lens translate? I get an instant failure on WiFi or LTE, regardless of the language. I've tried having a VPN on and set to USA, wiping cache for Google, Play Services, Android Intelligence Services, uninstalling and reinstalling Google Lens and Google, even adding the language to my Account's preferred language at the behest of Google support, all to no avail. Support is stumped and has "assured" me that they are working on it. My wife has a Z Flip 5 on a different carrier and has the same exact issue. I've read basically every post I could find on the problem and none of the suggestions have made a bit of difference. We also experienced this in December in another country.

Hey guys so I'm trying to get the search image via Google lens option on my chrome. I had a pixel 5 and it had that option (without the "new") I changed to a Samsung S22 and it doesn't haven't. My bf has a Sony Xperia and that's where I got the screenshot from, where it has that option. We have the same version of chrome. I tried to fiddle with chrome flags and that didn't work.

Also, the reason why I want it is because it's easier to translate pics from mangas. Where's without it, I have to download the pics and the. To to Google lens and translate it via that way.

If anyone has any tips to how to help this I would appreciate it 👍

The latest Chrome update (installed it today) should make it possible to use Google Lens directly from Chrome instead of through google.com. Would be a cool new feature but it doesn't seem to be there, even after restarting. Does it work for anybody else, and how could I fix it?
