Hello Steemians,

This tutorial might be useful to those who aren't aware of some capabilities of Google Search Engine.

Google Reverse Search lets you search by images instead of keywords. Upload a picture from your desktop, tablet or mobile phone, and Google will show all the other web pages on the Internet that have similar images.

Reverse Search is useful for verifying the source of photographs, WhatsApp images, screenshots and memes. Tinder and Facebook users have used "Search by Image" to research profile pictures of their potential dates while travelers use it for finding the photo's location.

You can do Reverse Image Search on mobile or PC depending on what is convenient for you without installing any applications.
