It could be Google Lens An incredibly handy tool This would also have been science fiction just a few years ago, but it looks like Google has trouble sticking to one trademark of its image analysis service. A new icon has appeared in one of our Google search bar which is a lot more like a camera than the previous version, indicating that many people may have difficulty understanding the old code.

So far, we haven’t been able to locate the new Lens icon anywhere else – the Play Store menu for shortcut application The current is still showing May 2019 designAs well as the Google app on our phones. The new version appears to be part of a limited a / b testing at the moment, so it remains unclear if Google will continue with the new design. Perhaps the company is only testing whether people are more likely to use Lens when its icon is closer to the camera.

Since Google has only redesigned the Lens icon Again during Google I / O 2019, The new version comes as a bit of a surprise – after all, the 2019 icon actually fits really well with the Icon color scheme that Google is slowly introducing to all of its apps. But it’s entirely possible that many people will find it difficult to understand the 2019 symbol because it loosely resembles a camera, so a redesign that gets closer to the real thing might not be the worst idea.
