How do I change my Google Lens?

Answered by Tom Adger

To change your Google Lens settings, follow these steps:

1. Open the Google app on your Android device. If you don’t have the app, you can download it from the Google Play Store.

2. Tap on the More tab, usually located at the bottom right corner of the app. It looks like three horizontal lines stacked on top of each other.

3. Scroll down and tap on Settings. If you don’t see the Settings option, you may need to tap on the Gear icon or a similar icon to access the app settings.

4. In the Settings menu, look for the Google Lens option and tap on it. It may be listed under the Assistant or Camera settings, depending on your device and app version.

5. Once you’re in the Google Lens settings, you can customize various options such as language preferences, search result suggestions, and more. You can also enable or disable specific features like Smart Text Selection or Style Match.

6. To change your primary Google account associated with Google Lens, you’ll need to update your account settings in the Google app itself. Go back to the More tab and tap on your profile picture or initial at the top right corner.

7. From the menu that appears, select the account you want to set as your primary account. This will be the account associated with Google Lens and other Google services.

8. If the account you want to use is not listed, tap on the Add another account option and follow the on-screen instructions to add it to your device.

9. Once you’ve selected or added the desired account, go back to the Google Lens settings (as explained in step 4) and it should now reflect the new primary account.

It’s worth noting that Google Lens may require certain permissions and access to your device’s camera and photos. Make sure to grant the necessary permissions for a seamless experience.

Changing your Google Lens settings allows you to tailor the app to your preferences and make the most out of its features. Feel free to explore the various options and experiment with different settings to enhance your Google Lens experience.

Remember, technology and app interfaces can vary slightly across different Android devices and app versions. The steps provided should work for most Android devices, but if you encounter any difficulties, refer to your device’s user manual or the Google support website for more specific instructions.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you change your Google Lens settings smoothly and enjoy using the app to its fullest potential.
