I first noticed a friend who was single using a reverse image search to learn more about a prospective real-life date she met through a virtual date.
She had a few of his photos and was able to learn the origin and confirm a lot about the lucky guy using this powerful tool. There are so many more great reasons why you'd want to do a reverse image search.
Is there someone in your life who may be too good to be true? Look that person up on their social media profile, and if their picture seems too good to be true, or perhaps you've seen it somewhere else, do a reverse image search. Do you see others using that same photo?
Also, try using reverse search to look up:

Not only will Google be able to identify the object - in many cases where you are shopping for an item, it will present prices for that object in all the places you can purchase it online (more on that below).
HOW TO REMOVE YOUR LOCATION FROM PHOTOS
If you have an image saved to your camera roll, and you want to see any similar images on the web or perhaps where it originally came from, you can do the following:
1) In your Safari browser, type in images.google.com
2) In order for a camera icon (which we'll need) to appear in the Google search bar, click the "AA" icon in the left-hand corner of the search bar at the bottom of the screen
3) From the dropdown, click "Request Desktop Website"
4) Now, you will see a camera icon in the Google search bar
5) A prompt will appear asking for permission to access your photos. Select Allow Access to All Photos

6) Click the camera icon and in the pop-up, click "upload a file" and then click "photo library"
7) Select the image in your camera roll you want to reverse image search and select "Choose" in the lower right-hand corner
8) Google images will now show all articles and other visually similar images related to the image you just selected
Before you follow these steps, Apple iPhone and iPad will need to download the Google app or Google Chrome app from the App Store or from Google Play Store app on an Android to perform a similar reverse image search.

4) Search results based on that image will appear and show you where the image has been used on the internet, and you can tap on any of the results to view the website.
