Google Adds Dedicated Images Tab to Search App, Begins U.S. Rollout

The tab curates interest-based photos with source labels, offering one-tap saving to Collections.

Overview

  • A new Images icon appears in the center of the Google app’s bottom bar, presenting a refreshable visual feed.
  • Tapping a photo opens a fullscreen viewer that surfaces similar images and displays the source site, including social platforms like Instagram.
  • A top-of-tab "Search for images" bar provides a shortcut to photo-only results.
  • Saved items go into Google Collections, allowing organization into existing folders.
  • The feature is rolling out in the United States to Android and iOS users over the next few weeks.
