How to search for any item or object in an image on Google Photos
The steps are essentially the same if you need more information about a vehicle, location, landmark, product, or any item in an image saved on your phone. However, you'll need to do it differently. Here's what you need to do:
Open the image of interest in the Google Photos app. Tap the Lens option in the bottom menu and wait for the app to analyze the photo.
If the image contains a single object or item, that object or item will be automatically selected and relevant search results will appear at the bottom.

For more accurate results, adjust the markers to cover only the object you want to search for.
