That's a neat new feature, which is also available to the built-in Lens in default camera apps but you are still encouraged to use the live preview analyzer. Anyway, tapping on the rounded gallery preview button opens up your recently saved photos.

Keep in mind that this is a server-side change so it may take a while before you get the redesigned Google Lens app.
