We all are familiar with an image search on Google. What we basically do is type in the keyword to find images based on that. But what if you need exactly the opposite. Say, you have an alien image and want to know its details. That is also possible on Google, and the activity of searching using an image is called reverse image search. 

You can carry out a reverse image search, not just on your PC, but also on your Android device. Using reverse image search on your mobile, you can know the details of a person or celebrity, a product that you liked at your friend’s place, and so a lot more depending upon the situation.

So without any further ado, let's find out how you can do a reverse image search on Google using your Android device.
