Google Image Search On Mobile Gets A Bunch Of Updates

Google has made an array of changes to its image based search results. One of the changes you will be able to make out easily is that the website address of the image (URL from where the image has been sourced) is now shown below the image thumbnail.

Top: Old UI, Bottom: New UI

There are a few other minor tweaks which may not be noticeable at first but can be made out on a closer look. Google had introduced the 'Visit', 'Share' and 'Save' buttons earlier this year. The 'Visit' button now houses the website address instead of the word "Visit". The 'Share' and 'Save' buttons have been replaced with their icons. The buttons from the old user interface can still be accessed on tapping the image as shown below.

The overflow menu shows the option of 'Search by image' using which the user can make Google scrounge the internet for results based on the image being viewed. 

Lastly, there are a few new additions to the bottom of the search result pages. If you reside in a multilingual country like India, you will now see a list of languages you can choose to use Google in. The country name is also shown above the list of languages.

These changes appear to be live for everyone across the world. I reside in India and noticed these changes on three of my devices. Other members of our team, who reside in different countries, also confirmed the same set of changes.
