After introducing the Circle to Search feature in high-end premium phones like the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and the new Samsung Galaxy S24 series, Google has brought new updates in the same feature. The Circle to Search feature allows you to easily circle, scribble, or tap anything you see on your Android screen, and find information from the web without switching apps. This time it has made the feature more interesting through two major updates. 

The first update expands AI Overviews to cover more types of visual search results. Whether you're curious about a piece of art, a trending image, or a unique object, you can simply circle it on your screen to see a gen AI snapshot packed with helpful information and links to dive deeper into related content.

The second update focuses on simplifying everyday tasks. Circle to Search can now quickly recognize phone numbers, email addresses, and URLs directly from your screen, allowing you to take instant action with just a single tap. These updates make the feature not only more intuitive but also a powerful tool for getting things done seamlessly.
