Google Lens app gets two new features

Internet search Google is rolling new features for Lens app users which it announced at its annual developer conference Google I/O 2019 last month.
According to TechCrunch, both iOS and ARCore-compatible Android phones will be getting dining and translation features starting this week.
The new dining feature in Google Lens will enable users to use their handsets and point them at the menu, after which the app will showcase the most-popular dishes of that restaurant, food information and even photos using the Google Maps profile of the eatery.Besides that, the Lens app will also allow users to click a picture of the bill and split it directly.
As for the translation feature, the new filter will allows users to simply click a sign in any foreign language and be smoothly translated. Notably, this feature is already part of Google Translate app but now Google is embedding a lighter version of this in the Lens app as well.
For those unaware, users can access Lens in the Google Assistant, Google Photos and main Google search apps. However, for Pixel smartphone users, it is placed directly into the camera app.
At its I/O 2019 conference, Google announced that Android operating system for affordable smartphones, Android Go, is getting Lens in their phone's camera. This feature is launching first in Google Go’s Search app for first-time smartphone users. Lens in Google Go is just over 100KB and works on phones that cost less than $50.
One of the biggest announcement of the event, however, was Google's next operating system update. Called Android Q, the beta version of the OS will come on 23 devices and will be officially rolled out later this year. With Android Q, smartphone users will get host of new additions including more privacy features, new Focus mode, better notification management and controls and much more.
