Circle to Search, the visual lookup feature which Samsung launched with the Galaxy S24 series, has received a new update. Google announced a new crop and share feature for the tool earlier this month. It has reportedly started rolling out to all users. The tech giant has announced that it is rolling out these features to all compatible Android devices. With this feature, users can quickly take a screenshot of a part of the screen. They can do this directly via the feature and share it with others.
Circle to Search Reportedly Getting a New Feature
9to5Google spotted the feature in an unnamed Android device. As per the publication, when you use this feature and take the screenshots, they are not saved to the device. Once users have access to the feature, they can activate Circle to Search by long pressing the home button on their Android device.
Users can tap on the lasso tool to make a selection of either the entire screen or part of a screen. Once you have made the selection, you can directly share this screenshot. You can share them via third-party messaging apps, Bluetooth, and other similar apps.
Google’s Circle to Search Could Soon Support Pixel Screenshots App
Users can also upload the screenshot to Google Photos. They can also save it in Google Keep using the share sheet. As per the report, the resolution of smaller images is not high. This means taking a screenshot to save it to the device might not be an effective solution.
Google announced this feature earlier this month in a Gemini-related blog post. The post also mentioned the recently rolled out Gemini feature dubbed Ask about this screen. When you open Gemini over another app, this new option appears above the floating Gemini window. Users can tap it to ask the AI queries about the screen. A similar feature dubbed ‘Ask about this video’ lets users ask questions about a YouTube video.
