Google App v-10.70.6 Brings Built-in Screenshot Editor

Not only to search for queries, but Google App has become the must app to get acquainted with the latest happenings around the world. Much of this could be attributed to the way it only shows news personalized and organized according to our preferences. And if you discovered interesting content or an image, you would probably take a screenshot. Modifying the same thing would require extra effort to open a photo editing application and then perform the desired actions. But not anymore. An integrated screen capture editor has recently been added to Google App. The feature has also made its way to the stable version of the application. Let's explore this feature and look at all its features. However, if you want to take screenshots in applications that restrict it, check out our tutorial.

Various features of the publisher

Once you've taken a screenshot in Google App, a new bottom bar will appear with four options. These are mentioned below. In addition, users of Samsung Galaxy Note 10 should also see how we can take screenshots on Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+.

1. Marking option: When you tap this feature, the Google App screenshots editor offers you three additional options:
   • Arise: As its name indicates, it allows you to crop the image.
   • Draw: This option is used to write, draw, or draw on the captured screen capture. In addition, the color palette offers a multitude of colors. You can even increase or decrease the size of the brush. Once done, tap the check mark to save your changes.
   • Lens: Google Lens allows you to search for or copy text, URLs, etc. within the image itself. You have never used this feature before, you will need to login with Google ID first. Tap the Google Lens icon, select the Start option and sign in. If you're having trouble understanding the features of this feature, check out the Google Lens usage tips on Android devices.
2. Share: This option allows you to share the screen capture with any of the supported applications installed on your device.
3. Lens: This is the same as mentioned above. Strange enough that Google has the same functionality in two different places.
4. The last option will have the application you mainly use or have recently used to share images.

These are the different features provided by the screenshots editor present in Google App. Although very useful, it seems that a job remains to be done. For example, most of the time, trying to crop functions caused frequent crashes in my Google app. Hopefully these issues will be solved in the next update.
