Ever had the urge to look up an image, but dont have a computer close to hand?
But its also not terribly difficult either: it just requires a few extra steps.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Well show you how to use both with Spider-Man as a visual aid, because why not?
Lets start with Safari.
First, check that the image in question is saved to your Photos gallery.
To do this, do a long-press on the image in question and hit Save to Photos.
you’ve got the option to always delete it when youre done looking up the image.
Next, enter the URL images.google.com in the bar, which will take you to the images site.
Then tap the double A button on the left site of the bar.
This will show you Safaris mini tweaks menu, and from here tap Request Desktop Website.
This will force the site to reload in its desktop form.
So tap that camera.
If youve copied an image to your keyboard you might paste it here with Paste Image URL.
But to double-check you get the correct picture, I recommend using Upload an Image.
When you use this option, you could select Photo Library.
Choose the photo you saved earlier from your Photos gallery.
Google will now search for matches to the uploaded image.
Now for Google and just as an aside, this process works on the Chrome app.
Then open a tab in the Chrome app and tap the search bar.
Under the bar, youll see the option Image You Copied.
Thats the image you want to search for.
Selecting it will copy the image and search for similar ones.
And there you go: now you’ve got the option to do image searches on your iPhone.
