Security & authenticity
Signing certificate
- Certificate issued to “zph-mph” Not the developer's name (“Google LLC”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
- The same certificate signs apps from 175 different developers Developers sign only their own apps, so this almost always means the files were re-signed by someone else — often after being modified.
- Signed differently from the Google Play version v1.18.250731009 and v1.18.250731006, which match Google Play, use another certificate. Android normally won't update an installed Play Store copy with this file. v1.18.250731009 · v1.18.250731006

Probably not if you installed Google Lens from Google Play: this file is signed with a different certificate, and Android normally refuses such an update. You would have to uninstall your copy first, which deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the Google Lens APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 175 different developers. It is signed with a different certificate than the Google Play version. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is fd4aa352a29c52f38cb32d9b78999c8b.
