  • Google has rolled out an update for the Magnifier app.
  • The update adds live text search capability to the viewfinder.
  • The update has not been widely rolled out yet.

If you didn’t know, Google has a dedicated app for zooming in on images called Magnifier. You can also use this app to scan for and quickly find certain words in an image. This software has just received a Play Store update that makes it even more useful.

In the current version of Magnifier, you’ll see buttons for switching cameras, enabling flash, zooming out, capturing, zooming in, settings, reset zoom, and saved images. Google is now rolling out an update that makes a minor but handy change to this layout. Spotted by 9to5Google, the latest version of Magnifier (2.0.0.745828117) replaces reset zoom with a button for live text search.
