This was reported on the company’s blog, Ukrinform reported.

“Earlier this year, we announced a new “About This Image” feature, and today it’s rolling out to English-speaking users around the world on Google Search. “Thanks to this feature, people will be able to easily verify the authenticity and context of the images they see on the internet.”

To view the history of the image, you need to click on the three dots and select the appropriate section from the menu. After that, the user will be able to see information about when the image was indexed by Google and on which website it first appeared. You can also see how other sites are using and describing the image, and metadata, if any, that tells you whether artificial intelligence was used to create the image.

The company added that if an image is taken out of context and published in connection with a current event, this can be useful when it is actually related to another event and was published much earlier.
