Images Of AI "Nano Banana" Coming Soon To Google Lens And Circle To Search
Google is working on the integration of their "Nano Banana" AI image editors into Google Lens and Circle to Search. The evidence shows a new "Create" (Create) option asking users to provide a description of their edits. This expansion removes sophisticated AI editing tools out of a dedicated application, making them accessible instantly through your device's visual interface.
Google is preparing to present its new AI image editing tool, dubbed "Nano Banana," far beyond Gemini and its current testing ground in Search AI Mode. Recent findings show the company is working hard to embed this editor directly into its two most visually focused services. More specifically, the company aims to integrate the creation of Nano Banana-powered AI images into Google Lens and Circle to Search.
As Android Authority found, this integration seems to be the most advanced in Google Lens. The code hidden in Google's latest Android app build shows an updated Lens interface. Now there is the "Create" (Create) option right next to the existing "Search" (Search) and "Translate" (Translate) tools.

When the user taps on this new "Create" option, the system will ask them to send an image. Users must then describe exactly what kind of edit to do by using a text command.
This workflow reflects a simple descriptive style already seen in the Search AI Mode experiment. An animated introduction even welcomes users to "arrest, create and share." This hints that the feature is almost ready to be rolled out to the public more broadly.
Circle To Search Will Also Follow
Google doesn't stop at Lens. The same editing ability is also expected to come to Circle to Search, a popular feature that allows users to search for anything on their screen quickly with just a circle. Although there is evidence of the "Create" button appearing in the Circle to Search interface, the button is currently not responding to user input. This shows that engineering teams are still in the early stages of development for this specific placement.
However, the presence of the "Create" option in both places confirms Google's comprehensive plans to place Nano Banana access wherever users interact with images on their mobile screens. This plan appears similar to the application of AI-powered tracking across its products and services. Now, the next step is to bring Nano Banana-powered AI images into the user's daily visual workflow.
