ITT - Apple users who don't know what Lens is and how useful it is ๐
Yeah. For apple users Lens is not the simple andtoid camera app (which yes can translate text on the fly and read QR codes) - Lens is a visual search tool that can answer queries based on pictures.
Like if you take a picture of a tree you can ask what species it is, or a picture of a person you can ask where the clothes are from etc.
If you have the google app, on the landing page there is a camera icon. You can either use lens live that way, or upload a pic and it will tell you what plant/animal/etc it is, sometimes, or iirc it will translate texts. But it does both in real time too. I have an iPhone and use it a lot.
