Circle to Search is a feature available on Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones that allows users to get information on any screen object by using a simple gesture.
When the user traces a circle around the desired search target, they'll get relevant search results about the circled item.
This innovative feature debuted in early 2024.
Circle to Search provides an intuitive and quick way to get details or search recommendations. Users can also squiggle or tap on objects to get the same results.
This feature demonstrates the evolution of mobile visual search towards more natural and convenient discovery of information about objects in your immediate environment.
