Google Image Search Testing Pinch To Zoom
Google Image search is testing the ability to pinch to zoom, to expand the details on a specific image within the mobile interface. So instead or in addition to clicking on an image, you can pinch to zoom to see more details on that image.
This was spotted by Glenn Gabe who posted some screenshots on X – you can see Google added an image overlay with a hand that says “pinch to zoom” so that searchers know that it is an option:

I cannot reproduce on my iOS device using the native Google app or on mobile Safari.
Forum discussion at X.
