Tech tips/uses of LENS App in an android phone: 7 hidden things you can do with it.

Good morning to you depending on your location and blessed weekend as well.

How are you doing and how is life fairing with you?

Permit me to share this tech tips with you if you have an Android phone and you are not using Google Lens, you are missing a lot.

I used to think Lens was just for scanning, but since I discovered it, it has saved me money, time, and stress especially in business and studies.

If you have Google Lens on your phone or Google Photos, or Chrome camera icon, here are some powerful things you can do with it.

You can copy text from real life to your phone.
Like, you see something written on paper, a book, a shop signboard, you don't need to type it again.

Just open Lens, point at the text, click text and press copy. You can paste it on WhatsApp, Ecency, anywhere.

Very useful for students who want to copy notes from board or textbook quickly.

Solve maths and homework instantly.
Point Lens at any maths problem, equation, or assignment and click homework, and it will solve it step by step.

If you are a student or you help your younger ones with homework, this is gold.

Identify plants, animals, and anything.
You see a strange plant in your village, or an insect, or a shoe you like. Point Lens at it and Lens will tell you the name, where to buy it, and its price.
I used it to identify a plant in my compound that my mother planted, I didn't know the name until Lens told me.

Translate any language live.
You travel and see a sign in French, Chinese, or Yoruba?
Or you receive a document in another language. Just open Lens and go to Translate. Point your camera at it, and it will translate it live on your screen, just like magic.
No need to type.
Very useful for those doing importation business.

Shop smarter, find where to buy anything cheap.
See a fine shirt, shoe, chair, or phone in someone's post or on the road?
Use Lens to scan it. It will show you all shops online (Jumia, AliExpress, Amazon) selling it and the price. You can compare price before you buy and avoid being cheated.

Identify fake products and scan barcodes.
Point Lens at a barcode or product label. It will show you if it is original, its reviews, expiry date, and where it is made.
For those of us buying drugs, food, or phone accessories, this can save your life.

Add contacts, scan QR codes, and create email instantly.
See a business card, poster with phone number or email?
Lens will detect it and give you option: Call, Add Contact, Send Email, Open Website. You don't need to type the long number again.
It also scans QR codes for bank payments, WhatsApp group links, and event tickets.

My advice.
If you are a business person, student, farmer, or content creator on Ecency, you need Lens. It makes your Android phone more smarter.
