Lens App on G7

[MozartMan]

Hi everybody,

When I got my G7 about couple weeks ago phone gave me notifications about updating a bunch of apps. One of them was Lens (I assume it is Google camera app). I also got two more updates for this app during first two weeks.

When I try to start Lens I get this message:

Thanks for updating. Lens will be available soon.

Please try again later

Anybody else has this app on their G7 and gets this message?

I do, but have not gotten that message.
What version of Lens are you on?
Also, mine was last updated May 7th, when was yours last updated? Perhaps mine hasn't updated yet?

Thanks for reply Mike.

My version is 1.6.190430009. Looks like the same as yours.

Question for you. Do you have Google app enabled or disabled?

OK, I figured it out. Google Lens was not working on my G7 because I had Google app disabled.
I confused Google Lens with Google Camera.

Apparently Google Lens is AI thingy. Both are disabled now.

Thanks PitCarver. I googled with DDG and found that info. I can live without this AI thingy.

Yep.
I use the absolute least of Google as possible.
