A reverse image search is a simple method that helps you find details about an image by using the image itself, instead of typing keywords. Many people use this tool to check where a photo came from, find similar pictures, or confirm if an image is real. It is especially helpful when you receive unknown images on social media or messaging apps and wish to know their source.
On Android and iOS, this feature works by uploading the image or linking its URL to a search engine like Google Images. The search engine then scans its database and shows results related to the uploaded picture. This can include similar images, websites where the image appears, and related information. It is a useful way to check if a photo is genuine, discover the name of an unknown place or product, or identify a person in a photo.
Many users turn to reverse image search while shopping online to find the same product at a better price, or to make sure the product image is authentic. It can also help you detect fake profiles on social media by verifying profile pictures.
As smartphones today come with faster processors and better internet speeds, performing a reverse image search has become much easier and quicker.
