A new way to Search: Circle to Search - YouTube
When you find an image that interests you while surfing the Internet, long-tap on your smartphone's home button or navigation bar.
Then Circle to Search will start, so trace the screen and circle the object you want to search for.
This will search for images similar to the object in the enclosed area and display the results.
The same thing happens when you do the action of 'tracing.'
You can search for traced objects.
You can also get an answer from Google's AI by adding text along with the searched image. For example, if you search for images of food and add the text 'Why is this food so popular?', the AI will output answers such as what the food is, what it is made of, and why it is popular. Masu.
Previously, with Google Lens for Android, when you searched for an image, the Google app would open in a separate window, and you would have to adjust the square frame that was displayed to specify the search range. On the other hand, Circle to Search is unique in that you can search without switching apps.
Circle to Search is scheduled to be available on January 31, 2024 for select Android smartphones, including the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
