Now, you can search for text in Google Photos' images

Google Photos app already leverages Google Lens' object recognition to make it easier for users to find photos with specific objects, like an animal, flower, book or pen.

The capability makes the app much more than photo dump, and now, Google is taking it to a new level by adding the ability to look for specific photos by typing out the text they feature.

Most of us capture written information with a quick photo but find it difficult to search that photo in a chunk of thousands of images.

Now, with the new feature, Google Photos would make finding those shots (and information) easier.

Essentially, you could type that text and look for photos of important documents, college notes, book pages, even Wi-Fi passwords you don't fully remember.

Once you find the photo you need, Google Photos will also provide the option to copy all text from it; you just have to open the photograph, hit the Lens button and select the text you need.

The capability, as Engadget points out, would make it a lot easier to research or figure out the meaning of specific signs, texts in other countries.

According to Google, the new text search feature started hitting Google Photos for Android and iOS earlier this month.

The capability would be available for users in India, but if it hasn't shown on your device, we recommend waiting up a bit.

It may take a few days to roll out to all the users around the world.
