Question Add Google Lens to Recent Button? Better use of Lens in One UI?

[ardanai]

Hello,
I recently moved from Android One to One UI 5.1.
Mi A2 Lite to S23 Ultra

The recent button in One UI has only one option: Close All

The recent button in Android One, however, has three options: Clear All, Lens, and Screenshot

And that Lens option is magic. Because in whatever application you are, you can use that to translate, search, ... in that screen.

Could we add this option to the recent button of the S23 Ultra?

Or is any workaround to run Google Lens on One UI such that we can use its abilities?

The only possible way I found was to take a screenshot and open it in Lens which is very annoying since I have to take a screenshot and delete it after say translating the text inside it.

I also have the same need, but there is really nothing I found.

Maybe you could try Bixby vision that is more integrated in the one UI

I loved this lens function on my pixel 6 A simple way to save photos without taking a screenshot. I miss this feature in Galaxy S23 Ultra :/

Highly desireable feature, I also moved from a pixel 7 pro and extensively used Google lens for copying text from pics & such and the smart select function on one ui is not nearly as good!

I tried that but it's not comparable to Lens at all.

I was living in Brazil so I have always been using Lens to translate new words or phrases besides its other options. Now I moved to Germany and I need it more

We need pixel launcher port

I have google lens installed on my S23U and its working, if you dont have it, maybe try to download it from the play store?

It's already installed but not integrated as in aosp roms. You have to take a screenshot and then go to lens and find that screenshot. Then you're able to translate or copy a text inside that photo.

You can share the screenshot with lens, it's faster
