How to check Google lens QR code Scanned History

Google Lens is a type of camera functionality developed by Google to help detect QR codes, text, or objects. Many times we come across fruits or objects, and we do not know their names or uses or we get a QR code but have no means to scan through the QR code and decode it. Nevertheless, Google released the Google lens in October 2017 to help us understand our world better just with the help of a photo.

Google lens works hand in hand with the camera on your mobile device so that it scans through the object text or QR codes for quick answers.

As mentioned earlier, you do not need a third-party application to view Google Lens QR code history. You just have to navigate through the in-built options and functionalities. It's quite easier to do these with a computer, but that does not mean your QR code history cannot be viewed with a phone or any other mobile device you have.

Note: If you use Google Lens to scan QR codes they will be saved on Google lens activities.
