Bing gets a fair amount of improvements on a regular basis, and this month, Microsoft is bringing a number of new features to its service. Many of the updates are related to the Visual Search feature introduced back in June, but there are also some enhancements outside of that experience.
Starting with the features related to image searching, Bing is introducing Math Solver, a feature which will provide step-by-step solutions to equations captured through the phone's camera. In addition to presenting solutions, Bing will also present any explanation videos it can find from sources such as Kahn Academy. The feature is now available for iOS and should be coming to Android soon.
Visual search features on the Bing desktop website are also seeing improvements. You'll now be able to paste, upload, drag-and-drop, or take your own pictures in the search flyout on Bing.com. This includes the ability to drag images from image results you're seeing in the same page, so you can quickly reverse image search without leaving the browser.
