Google introduces an enhanced method of online searching with its latest feature, “Circle to Search,” aiming to simplify and significantly improve the user experience.
Designed to be both user-friendly and exceptionally helpful, “Circle to Search” harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to revolutionize how Android phone users explore information without the need to switch between applications.
To access detailed information about any subject, users can now effortlessly circle, tap, highlight, or scribble on text, images, or videos related to the object of interest. Whether it’s a stylish bag featured in a YouTube video or a word spotted in a friend’s social media post, the innovative feature allows for seamless exploration. Additionally, users can employ multisearch, enabling simultaneous searches using both text and images while posing questions to deepen their understanding of the chosen topic. Once the search is complete, a simple swipe allows users to seamlessly return to their original browsing context.
“We’ve only just scratched the surface of what’s possible,” Google expressed in a press release, hinting at the potential for further advancements in the future.
The “Circle to Search” feature is set to debut on the Samsung Galaxy S24 series and other Android smartphones, including the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, starting January 31.
In addition to the “Circle to Search” functionality, Google is introducing another feature that allows users to leverage their phone camera to inquire about specific objects or upload photos for detailed search engine queries, enhancing the overall search experience. This feature is part of Google’s ongoing efforts to provide users with versatile and intuitive tools for accessing information.
