Circle to Search is basically Google search, but on steroids
First made its debut in Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S24 series, thanks to Samsung’s collaboration with Google, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 foldables were also equipped with the feature upon their launch.
If this is the first you’ve heard of this feature, Circle to Search can be described as Google search but on steroids, bringing Google searching to a whole new level. To summon the feature, users simply need to hold the home button or home bar, and then circle, highlight, or tap anywhere on the screen to select the text, image, or video they want to search. This is done without needing to leave the app you’re using or switching between apps.
Also, it doesn’t matter if you’re on your home screen, or any app, Circle to Search will be able to help do a quick search on the object you’re highlighting. This is an immensely useful tool for situations where it’s hard to describe what we’re trying to look for.
