How To Use Lens in Google Photos to Create Contacts from Business Cards

Business cards are a great way to keep tabs on the contacts we network with. So why shouldn’t our smartphones make them even more useful? Enter Google Lens, which will help you save, search, and expand on the contact information found on all of the business cards you’ve collected.

Once you have a picture of the business card in question, open it in Photos. Tap the Google Lens button in the bottom row of the app (to the left of the “Delete” trashcan key). Google Lens will then scan your photo with a cool animation before loading up all the information it was able to obtain from the card.

By default, Google Lens will key in on the contact information and lay out the person’s name, email, address, and any other contact information it can process. You can quickly turn that information into a contact in your phone by tapping “Add contact” at the bottom of the display.

From there, your Contacts app will pop up. The interface will vary depending on what type of phone you’re using, but for most, just tap “Create contact” or “New contact” to load up the information Google Lens found into a new contact. From there, the pertinent fields should already be filled out, but you can tweak the info or add to it if you’d like. When you’re satisfied, make sure to tap the “Save” button to finalize your work.
