Between Google, TinyEye, and Yandex, the latter provides the most detail about the image as well as similar images and a description of the image, if available.

Other iPhone-based reverse image search apps that you can try are Photo Sherlock and Reverse Image Search App. All screenshots by Mehvish Mushtaq.
