The function has been present in Pixel phones for almost 3 years. On other devices, access was required through the Google Assistant. The resource, however, is not always available. However, in Android 12 the option must be activated by default.

More easily

Some very useful apps that use artificial intelligence are already present in Android 12. This is the case of Google Translate and Google Lens, for example. They are part of the Android Overview. The Beta 4 version adds automatic photo detection to the tools.

Whenever an image is in the app window, an icon is shown in the bottom corner of the screen. By touching the icon, the media expands and the options present in Google Lens are displayed. It is possible to copy, share and save. Everything appears in the top corner. In addition, it is possible to perform quick sharing between user contacts.

As such, the feature is significantly more efficient than the other default option. Today, it is necessary to take a print, cut the image and then send it, for example. That is, although the change is not so big, it can significantly affect the user experience.

When does the update arrive?

It is not yet known if the update will be available for all devices with Android 12. Some companies are free to use or not the additions that Google promotes. Samsung and Xiaomi are two companies that have this feature.

Thus, it is up to the manufacturers to adopt the improvement. However, the expectation is that at least the recent devices are up to date.

The repackaged Android also has no scheduled release date. Everything indicates that the news will come to the public definitively soon. Who knows, even in the coming months, in 2021.
