Disclosed embodiments provide devices, methods, and computer-readable storage media for determining information of an object from a captured image. Further, the disclosed device responds to a user input by capturing, with the camera, image data representing an object. The device then transmits, via a messaging application through a network interface to a server, the image data and a request for information relating to the object. The object information is received via the messaging application through the network from the server and is displayed on the display screen.
