Officially launched in 2017, the Google Lens application continues to develop but above all to integrate into the ecosystem of the Mountain View firm. This tool capable of knowing more about its environment will now be able to display the most popular dishes of a restaurant directly from Google Maps, reports the specialized site 9to5Google.

The "Discover the dishes" feature was announced at Google's I / O 2019 conference, said Presse-Citron , but its integration into Google Maps is new.

Facilitate consumer choice

Users will now be able to explore the restaurants around them while consulting the list of the most popular dishes of a particular establishment. They will also have access to reviews. The set of functionalities has been implemented in order to facilitate the choice of an establishment. However, this feature is only integrated into Google Maps on Android, not yet on iOS, says 9to5Google.

As a reminder, Google Lens is also useful in other situations since this tool would be able to recognize more than a billion objects. For example, it is possible to take a photo of a garment for the application to examine it and tell you where it is possible to buy it. Likewise, Google Lens can tell you more about a painting in a museum, simply by photographing it from Google's service.
