How to search by image from the iPad?

Question

Google only allows image search from the camera directly (and not the gallery), but doesn't allow iPad users to search by uploading an existing image or typing a specific URL.

How can I search by image from an iPad?

Answer 1

When you're on the Google Images page scroll all the way to the bottom. There is a choice there to use either Google Tablet or Classic (defaults to tablet on the iPad). Click on classic and you should get the same options as on your mac/pc.

Answer 2

Use the Google Chrome app for iOS.

1. Browse to Google Images
2. Tap the menu button in the top right corner at the end of the address bar (looks like three horizontal bars stacked on top of each other).
3. Tap "Request desktop site". The page will refresh and you should see the normal Google Images site.
4. Tap the blue camera icon in the Google search bar, then upload your pic or paste your URL as necessary.

Hope this helps! This does NOT work in Safari.
