Only desktop computers and not tablets or smartphones can use Google’s image search feature right now. Once the photo is on the desktop, you’ll need to perform a reverse image search if you want to verify the authenticity of a forwarded picture from your friend on WhatsApp or Facebook.

Too much work, right?

Reverse image searches on Android and iPhone are a breeze with Reverse Photos. It’s as simple as clicking the “Upload Image” button and selecting an image from your phone’s photo gallery. In order to find similar images, click the “Show Matching Images” button and your photo will be sent to Google’s image database for comparison.
