Circle to Search is one of the coolest new features on Android phones. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S24 or Google Pixel 8, here’s how to use it.
When Samsung unveiled its Galaxy S24 series, including the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it also introduced several new features in its Galaxy AI suite. One of these new features was Circle to Search, which allows you to easily search for anything on the screen with a simple gesture. This feature works by drawing a circle on the screen, and the AI will then search for items within that circle.
Think of Circle to Search as a combination of Google Lens and a screenshot search. You can activate Circle to Search no matter what you’re doing. Whether you’re on your home screen, in a web browser, or using an app, you can always use Circle to Search. This feature enhances the overall user experience by providing quick and easy access to information on the screen.
Since Google is behind this feature, it’s not exclusive to just Galaxy S24 devices. It’s also available on other, older Samsung phones, in addition to many Google Pixel handsets.
