Google Lens translate is one of the most used features of the app, which allows you to capture text in real-time from images. Although the Google Lens app has virtually no problems, many people have reported problems with the translation feature. The Google Lens app is used on various devices, such as Android or iOS, and the translation feature also works fine most of the time.

However, if you encounter a bug and are looking for the right solution to fix Google Lens not working, then gather the exact information below.

Why is Google Lens not working

Google Lens cannot identify objects: Knowledge about real-world objects is limited. So if the app can’t identify points of interest, it may be because it hasn’t found any (or it has to search again first).

The area you are scanning is too dark for Google Lens to identify objects: Lens can only identify objects if there is enough light to process and recognize them. So if you’re using the lens in low light conditions, you may need to lighten the area.

Google Photos problem: If Google Lens doesn’t work when you try to access it from the Google Photos app, the cause may be a problem with the Google Photos app.

The Google Lens app is not installed: If you are trying to access Google Lens through Google Assistant and the Google Lens icon is not found, it means that the app is not installed on your device. Currently, you can only use Lens live if you have the appropriate app installed on your Android device.

Google Lens has not been set up on your device: If you have never used Lens on your device, you may need to set it up and turn it on before you can use it.

To fix Google Lens not working

Clear your data in the Google Lens app

Check the permissions to apply

1. Launch the Google Lens app information page (Settings -> Apps and Notifications -> Show All Apps -> Lens).
2. Select Permissions.

4. Go back to the app’s Permissions page and select Storage. Then select Allow to change the resolution of the lens storage.
5. Launch the Google Lens app and verify that the translation is now working.

Update Google Lens

The translation service in the Google Lens app may not work on your Android smartphone if the version of the app you are using contains a bug. Google usually doesn’t let these bugs last long before releasing an update to fix them. Thus, one of the easiest ways to resolve Google Lens translation issues is to update the app.

Launch the Google Play Store on your Android smartphone and search for Google Lens. You can also click the “Google Lens Update” button embedded below. This will redirect you to the Play Store where you can update Google Lens.

Clear the Google Lens cache

2. Then tap Storage and Cache.
3. Finally, tap the “Clear Cache” icon.
