Google has announced that Multisearch, a new way to search using text and images at the same time, is now available in beta on iOS and Android.
To get started, simply open up the Google app on Android or iOS, tap the Lens camera icon and either search one of your screenshots or snap a photo of the world around you, like the stylish wallpaper pattern at your local coffee shop. Then, swipe up and tap the "+ Add to your search" button to add text.
With Multisearch, you can ask a question about an object in front of you or refine your search by color, brand or a visual attribute. For example...
● Screenshot a stylish orange dress and add the query “green” to find it in another color
● Snap a photo of your dining set and add the query “coffee table” to find a matching table
● Take a picture of your rosemary plant and add the query “care instructions”
Google says the new Multisearch feature is made possible by advancements in artificial intelligence. It's also exploring ways to enhance the feature with MUM, its latest AI model for Search.
Multisearch is available now as a beta in English in the U.S. with best results for shopping searches. You can get the Google app for iOS from the link below.
