Circle to Search now works across your whole phone screen

Circle to Search from Google is now more powerful and can come in handy in more ways than before. Starting now, you can access Circle to Search on any screen or app within your phone.

So far, the Circle to Search feature was limited to those specific apps and websites. However, you can now use the feature anywhere on your screen, no matter where you’re in your apps or your home screen.

To activate Circle to Search, long-press on the home button and circle whatever you’d like to search on your screen. You can highlight anything that interests you, from words and pictures to videos. You’ll instantly see the information you need without leaving anything behind.

Google has introduced updates to Circle to Search that enable you to translate the whole screen by tapping one button. This change is designed to help everyone quickly find info and keep their attention on the task at hand.

Google is initially offering the feature on Pixel 6 and newer, as well as the Galaxy S21 and subsequent models. More devices are likely to get this functionality in the future. Circle to Search now provides an easy way to access relevant information whenever you need it.
