Spring, when vegetation buds, is a fun season for a walk. Cherry blossoms, magnolia kobus, and magnolias add color to the roads that you normally take casually.

Fortunately, Google offers "Google Image Search". If you access this site with Safari on iPhone, you will be directed to the smartphone optimization site, so you will not be able to upload images, but if you switch to the desktop website with the Safari function (press the "A" button at the left end of the URL bar) Tap to select "Show desktop website"), and you can search for images using the photos saved in the camera roll.

Google Image Search divides uploaded images into elements such as colors and lines and matches them against Google's database to find similar images. It is not always possible to obtain results, but the more images of animals and plants with similar composition and color on the WEB, the higher the search accuracy, so there is a possibility that familiar animals and plants will know their names. It's big.

Since it is integrated into the "Google Photos" app, you can display an appropriate image on the camera roll and tap the lens button at the bottom of the screen.

The subjects that can be searched with Google Lens are not limited to animals and plants. It should be useful when you want to know information on products written in foreign languages ​​that are difficult for Japanese people to enter, or when you want to find out the location of famous works of art or buildings.
