Samsung will unveil its latest additional Google feature, Circle to Search. This new feature allows users to long-press the home button and perform a Google search on whatever subject they tap or circle.
This feature benefits existing Samsung users or people who might want to upgrade their mobile phones for this ingenious feature.
Impressive and cool, this feature lets you look things up on Google without taking any screenshots. It’s S24’s current feature, but users can use it too on Google Pixel 8 once the update arrives on January 31.
It’s time to have fun with this new feature. Curious enough?
How to use Circle to Search on the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Google Pixel 8
- Press or hold the home button or the navigation bar.
- When you click Circle to Search, you can either tap, scribble, or circle what or whom you want information on.
- As Google pulls your Circle to Search results, add context or specific questions about what you want to specifically know.
- After exploring the feature, you can exit the ‘Circle to Search’ program whenever you feel like it by just pressing the ‘back’ button. Note that the screenshots will not be saved in your gallery.
In addition to that, you can also use the feature by using your gestures. A perfect example would be if you’re talking to a friend on a messaging app and are currently discussing a specific topic regarding cafes. You can instantly tap the name of that cafe to see more details about it.
What’s the catch?
All users might be asking, What’s in it for me?
Well, the good thing is that you don’t have to close other apps or stop what you’re doing when you suddenly want to check something. Generative AI chatbots are now being used to augment and replace traditional searches.
Generally speaking, this can be someone else’s powerful tool. Imagine searching for any images, texts, or videos without taking a screenshot just to get back at a later time.
CONCLUSION
Circle to Search will be launched this January 31 on the new Galaxy S24 series smartphones as well as premium Android phones, including the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
More Android phones will support this feature over time, according to Google.
