Google Lens is bugging out on Chrome, but Google says a fix is coming

If you’ve been having trouble with Google Lens on Chrome lately, it’s not just you. There appears to be a problem that’s preventing users from using the tool effectively. The good news is that the issue may not be around for much longer.

A Chrome user on Reddit has pointed out a weird Google Lens bug they’ve been experiencing while using the browser. When loading a Google Lens translated image from a new tab page, a window opens showing the full image. According to the user, clicking the window’s collapse button does nothing, leaving them stuck with a window blocking the view of the translated image. You can see an example in the picture below.

Additionally, there appears to be a problem with the Google Lens button in the Search bar. After you perform a search, you’ll see a Google Lens icon off to the right. This user claims that the button is nonfunctional. They also claim that they have been experiencing these issues for a month.

It’s unclear just how widespread this problem is, but Google responded to the post, confirming that these bugs are a known issue. The tech giant also says that the team is currently working on a fix. So, if you’ve been dealing with similar Google Lens problems on Chrome, you can rest easy knowing that a fix is on the way.
