To search by image on Safari Mobile, you’ll need to follow a few steps. First, open the Safari browser on your iPhone and type in the URL images.google.com. Once the page loads, you’ll notice that it appears in its mobile version, optimized for smaller screens. However, we want to access the desktop version of the site to fully utilize its features.
To request the desktop version, you’ll need to tap on the “AA” symbol located on the far left of the address bar. This symbol represents the Reader View feature, which allows you to adjust the appearance of the webpage you’re currently viewing. When you tap on it, a menu will appear with options such as “Hide Toolbar,” “Request Desktop Website,” and “Website Settings.”
To access the desktop version of Google Images, tap on “Request Desktop Website.” This option will reload the page, but this time it will look like the desktop version of the site. The layout and features will be similar to what you see on a computer, allowing you to perform a reverse image search.
Once the desktop version of Google Images is loaded, you can proceed with your image search. To search by image, tap on the camera icon located in the search bar. This will open a dialogue box with two options: “Take Photo” and “Upload an Image.”
If you want to take a photo and search for it, tap on “Take Photo.” This will activate your iPhone’s camera, allowing you to capture an image. After taking the photo, you can review it and make any necessary adjustments before proceeding. Once you’re satisfied with the image, tap on “Use Photo” to initiate the reverse image search.
Alternatively, if you already have an image saved on your iPhone, tap on “Upload an Image.” This will open your photo library, from which you can select the desired image. Once you’ve chosen the image, tap on “Choose” or a similar option, depending on your iOS version.
After selecting or taking a photo, Google Images will process it and display search results based on the image. These results may include visually similar images, related websites, and any other relevant information associated with the image.
By following these steps, you can effectively perform a reverse image search on Safari Mobile. It’s worth noting that the process may vary slightly depending on the version of Safari and iOS you are using, but the general steps should remain the same.
