Overview

• The in-development features were spotted in Google Android app version 16.40.18.sa.arm64, where Lens gains a new Create option alongside Search and Translate.
• Tapping Create in Lens triggers a flow that asks users to submit an image and then specify edits with natural-language instructions, with an animated intro inviting them to “capture, create, and share.”
• Early traces of a Create button also appear in Circle to Search, but the control does not respond to input, indicating that work on this placement is at an earlier stage.
• The findings come from app teardown evidence, and the capabilities are not yet live or officially announced for general users.
• Google VP Rajan Patel referenced the report with a banana emoji on X, hinting at the effort without providing a launch timeline.
