This wikiHow article will teach you how to find pictures of yourself on Google using a computer, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
Steps

Tap Google Lens. It's the multicolored camera lens icon in the search bar near the top of your screen.

Upload a photo to search. Tap the existing photo from your gallery to use it.
-
Select the part of the image you'd like to search or select an object from the photo to search. You'll see the results of the reverse image search displayed below your picture. Use the box corners to change which part of the photo you want to focus the results on. If available, a circle icon will let you select an object from your photo to search.
- You'll either find exact duplicates of your photo, if there are any, or similar-looking images. Because Google does not have a facial recognition feature, you won't be able to find pictures of your face in other images. [1] X Research source
