What to know

  • New Lens strings describe a “Take screenshot” button, a saved notification, a preview, and Edit and Share actions.
  • The broader capability is already public: Google app Smart Screenshots was reported in 2019 with editing, sharing and Lens actions.
  • We found the Lens-specific capture and save/preview labels in Google app 17.74.14.

Google Lens is preparing a screenshot workflow that starts with a capture control inside its own interface. In Google app 17.74.14, we found strings describing that control alongside a saved notification, a screenshot preview, and options to edit or share the result.

The new finding is that Lens-specific capture and save/preview flow. Screenshot editing, sharing and Lens actions themselves were already part of the earlier Smart Screenshots reporting.

About APK teardowns — An APK teardown examines an app’s code and resources for signs of features still in development. These details can reveal planned changes, but features may change, depend on server-side controls, or be dropped before reaching your phone.

A screenshot button with preview, Edit and Share actions

The capture control carries the straightforward label “Take screenshot.” The notification text pairs “Screenshot saved” with “Tap to view your screenshot,” describing a route back to the saved image. Separate labels identify a screenshot preview and Edit and Share actions.

These Lens-specific strings connect the capture control with the follow-up options:

lens_lensient_screenshot_button_description = "Take screenshot"
lens_lensient_screenshot_notification_title = "Screenshot saved"
lens_lensient_screenshot_notification_text = "Tap to view your screenshot"
lens_lensient_screenshot_preview_description = "View screenshot"
lens_lensient_screenshot_edit_action = "Edit"
lens_lensient_screenshot_share_action = "Share"

The strings describe the intended workflow, but do not establish its implementation or rollout. For you, the potential change is a direct path from taking a screenshot within Lens to viewing, editing or sharing it.
