Google Image Search Results Remove “View Image” button

Following an agreement with Getty Images, Google recently made detailed adjustments to its image search capabilities and user experience. Recently, Google has removed the “View Image” button, as well as in the search results browse a specific photo removed when the map search function.

Google today announced these changes in the tweet. Tweets wrote:

Today we're launching some changes on Google Images to help connect users and useful websites. This will include removing the View Image button. The Visit button remains, so users can see images in the context of the webpages they're on. pic.twitter.com/n76KUj4ioD

In addition, the “copyright” disclaimer is placed in a more prominent position in search results.

The Search by Image button is also being removed. Reverse image search *still works* through the way most people use it, from the search bar of Google Images.
