After debuting on a select few Samsung devices earlier this year, Google’s Circle to Search is now expanding to several Samsung Galaxy A Series smartphones, including the Galaxy A35 and A55. A few tablets are also set to receive this feature.
Samsung’s August 2024 update, which is rolling out now, will bring Circle to Search support to these Galaxy smartphones and tablets.
This update follows Samsung’s announcement earlier this month that the feature would be extended to more Galaxy A devices and affordable tablets as well.
What is Circle to Search?
Circle to Search allows users to search for information about anything on their screen by simply drawing a circle around it or tapping on text or objects.
The feature’s primary goal is to streamline the search process, enabling users to find similar products, identify landmarks, or explore video details without leaving their current app.
