First, you'll need a photo on your device that contains text. This can be a photo of something in the real world or even a screenshot. Open Google Photos on iPhone, iPad , or Android device and select the photo.
Then one of two things will happen. Google Photos may immediately detect the text and a suggestion will say “Copy Text From Image.” Go ahead and tap it if you see it.
If the text in the photo isn't that obvious, you'll need to launch Google Lens yourself. Tap the "Lens" icon in the bottom toolbar.
Google Lens will scan the image and highlight any text it detects. You can now select that text as you would anywhere else.
After selecting the text you want, click “Copy Text” from the bottom menu.
