@@joshualebowitz it's a bit of a quicker step than Lens is. With Lens, you gotta take a screenshot and then you can look it up with Lens. With Circle to Search, it's just a hold of the navigation bar. I think it's better than taking a screenshot, and then having to delete that screenshot after.
Google to Search is awesome, could see myself using the feature all the time. I also like the fact that you can just swipe down and go back to what you were doing.
this is a hyped feature because any android user can use it hold the center of nagivation button and activate google assistant then you have option to screen search that works like circle to search .
Yah. Like he said, it's really just Assistant Screen Search but with fancy animations. However, I have noticed with personal testing and from online discussions that Circle to Search is actually somehow worse. Instead of using the full Lens feature set, it instead uses a dumbed down version. No translate or work button, no auto select, not even smart recognition (barcodes and QR codes), and that's just some of the handicaps that I have come across myself. Who knows how many other features weren't ported over to this mass marketed rebrand of a feature.
@@lulushishi google lens is still there u can use it freely. Circle to search is an upgraded version to make "screenshots" of specific things & paste in into the search bar. or mark text & translate, copy or search for it. its dumbed down by how easy to use & how simple it is, yes. when i tried it out it works flawlessly & way faster than the old way. Screen search is still there. or the old assistant by saying the keywords or enabling the digital assistant etc. so idk where is problem is, maybe user error, but not gonna assume it. for my understanding holding the home button never brought google assistant up anyway (at least with my other 2 phones it does literally nothing). i use the digital assistant by holding the power button which brings on all phones the normal assistant up.
Magic eraser was meant to be a pixel exclusive feature but then came to all google one subscribers. Similarly, think Circle to Search can definitely come to other Tensor phones. It would be sick of Google to snake the 6 and 7 series users but then that’s what I’ve come to think of their pixel brand
As a long time Pixel user accessing Lens is easy so I thought it wouldn't make much of a difference. I was wrong. Quick circle and you'll have a face with the name that was mentioned in the article that you're reading. I use Lens even more now. Google should opens this to more phones. Pretty cool update.
Why?, Many people think google should keep some pixel features only on pixel phones. If you could do everything pixel does on any android phone, then there would be no incentive to buy a pixel phone. If google asked me (which they won't) I would tell them to not release any pixel features to any other phone. No need to wonder why pixel sells so few phones each year, Google gives away all of the pixel exclusive features and then wonders why sales are so low. They are now releasing some Pixel AI features to Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra phones. Not very Smart.
It's just a fancy gueture, Google already had it without gueture, going to recent apps and then "select" option. You can do anything from there copy text, image search.
Pixel 7 update was borked and I still don't have it. I don't particularly care too much though since the lens feature built in to the recent apps screen is better imo.
@@playtester6635 I am happy enough with what the Pixel can already do. I've tried it on a Pixel 8 and it isn't as good as the one already built into the Pixel imo. The only thing it does differently is keep you in the app.
The most surprising thing is I kept checking for updates every single hour. But it was so discreet I noticed it was done automatically on the Google app 😂
There's nothing to figure out for older devices. They are just holding out probably until May when the 8A comes out. It would be great if those of us with last year's flagship could also get current features without waiting for no apparent reason besides attempting to force people to buy the latest and greatest
I m running january patch on my 8 pro will there be another ota update or it will be activated by app update simply ?? Like google announced it will be there from 31.st jan 2024 ???? Wht i hv to do to get it ? By the time i commented i got it by simply opening google app nd activated this 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
Great option with a bad implementation, I mean who uses Google's app to search anything, in roughly 12 years using smartphones I never used it to search anything nor do I ever seen someone using it for that everyone goes straight for the browser to do that, so imo this should show us the results on whatever app we choose to use as our default browser
You can do this on any phone that's newer than 3-4 years. You can use google assistant screen search. It's the same thing, you also have OCR, translation, qr scanning..
@@carloareaser well that opens Google lens where you can't use this circle to search function, so that's something different. I am looking for circle to search thing only.
Lol.. it already had it but in other way but can do the same job.. When you go to recent tabs there you can actually pic a image, link or text from that particular tab and also can do lens search from it.. but now its just there in for of circle to search on the app.. For me its not bug difference and i am using pixel 6a
Why are these new features not on older phones??? Like the S23 could have the same things as the newest one and the pixel 7 shouldn't not be able to do this???
Can't believe Google is just ignoring the fold and older devices so much, glad I bought the fold for £900, their most expensive device but it's definitely not their flagship device. Google weird.
Everything I have read says that Google is not ignoring older pixel devices. Older devices will get this feature a little later. It just makes sense to release something to your newest phones first. It would not be wise to release a feature to an older device first then your newest phones later.
There was already Google lens.... This is pretty much a more gimmicky version of it .. I haven't even used it at all yet. Nice to have the one ui 6.1 update on s22 ultra, but... Meh.
They are able to bring this feature to all the Android smartphones but they want to keep this with the premium only 🤦 You can do that with Google Assistant so what's the matter to bring this for normal Smartphones.
Does Apple get any of their features like iMessage and other Apple exclusive stuff to other phone manufacturers? No, right? Then y u expect Google to do that? But Google is still generous to offer some features on all Android phones so guess u should be happy with what u get, at least they're not as stingy and money hungry like Apple
£1799 fold doesn't have it disgrace. I'll give it two more months for the fold to get all of the features the 8 series has after that I will move brand and not return to pixel I have had them since the pixel 2 and over the years have been taking things away one by one ie free original photos for life
Should be on all Tensor Pixels, Google is slowly losing my trust here.
It's the same as Google Lens.

@@user02350 Yes, it is quicker, was just letting them know that they aren't missing much.
You can just use Google assistant search screen
Losing? You must be new to Google. They've lost my trust during the Nexus Q ordeal.

Learn how to use android phone. Up to date google assistant literally provide you search screen feature that do almost the aame thjng......

The most surprising thing is I kept checking for updates every single hour. But it was so discreet I noticed it was done automatically on the Google app 😂
Same 😂
I can't get my circle thing to work. I have the 8 pro, when I push or hold that same area nothing happens. What am I doing wrong.
I have a 7 pro and also nothing is happening when I hit the button, so I'm guessing don't have it yet? Idk
So how do I activate the assistant now?
Can you get this if you are on the Beta channel?
No old Pixel devices, WTF Google??
I'm pretty sure we might get that on the March feature drop on order Pixel starting with Pixel 6 series and up.
i buy a pixel 7 in india on launch date, this what i get for buying a premium phone outside US or UK
Did Samsung give older devices this feature? No. Learn it's all about new devices@@shubhammanchekar972
i hope@@Babas013
It's not so easy to push software updates to all pixel models, it takes time and work. They have to go through many passes for security and privacy..
Thank you for making this video, I didn't even know it was working lol. (Pixel 8Pro NL)

Could we get this on s8 and s8 plus via a google app update
I don't have the circle to search update. But I have the newest one available in the play store it was updated Feb 28th.
me with my Pixel 2 - 😭😭I want that feature !!!
This is a joke, even the pixel 7 series does not get it
just use google lens.. drawing a circle is a gimmick..
Thanks for this
Before update circle to search was working perfectly but after reset not working
You dont have to take a photo to search for something with google lens ... just open lens and just aim you camera at what you want to search
So what's the difference between this and screen search?
It's a little faster to do, that's it
Will pixel 7a hey this feature?
What do I do if my google search version doesn't have the "cts" in the version? I checked for updates and I have the newest version.
Google's AICore app need to be compatible with Pixel 6/7.
It brings AI capabilities to the Pixel devices
Google pixel 6 a work ?
is it available in pixel 6a
I m running january patch on my 8 pro will there be another ota update or it will be activated by app update simply ?? Like google announced it will be there from 31.st jan 2024 ???? Wht i hv to do to get it ?

Not really 😂
@@travfromthelou I like it
How to enable it in pixel 6a ??
Can't use it. I have the latest android and Google version, also have cts in the version. Still doesnt work on my P8Pro. Any tipps?
Here the same not working
Will this come to pixels and Samsung only?
Is it yet to be released? I am not able to do this on my pixel 8

Where the hell is magic compose??? I got the circle search, but not the magic compose. Anyone else?
But when you say it's only for Google Pixel 8 I have a Google Pixel 6 a and it has it
It'd been around with any Galaxy using bixby vision forever.
Lol.. it already had it but in other way but can do the same job..

Pixel 7a Update?
Why limited to 8 and 8 pro why not my 7a.....i thought wvry feture comes to all eligible pixel devices... that's wrong then...😡😡😡
Im confused. I have a pixel 4 xl and I can already do this.
What if you use a 3rd party launcher
I have the march update and it doesn't allow me to do it. GRR
Yep me neither.
Still not working in Holland
Hot! 🔥🔥
Hope these AI features come to the Oneplus 12. 5:48

It has been pushed to the Pixel 7 & 7 Pro but not the 7a
Hardly, it still doesn't work on the 7.
Please return using Snapdragon Series.
Look I think it's all quite progressive actually and it will see through to some other pixels no doubt
Stil not working my google app is oke but the security is still from 2023
Do you have android beta?
Yes I have beta
@@robke33331 that's why! Android beta users will get it in the next beta update... Really sad cause I'm in beta to get this features first
there is no circle to search - update on my pixel 8 pro.
Make sure you got the latest updates in the play store and system. Once you do just hold that button line and it pops up
Still not working here I have beta
So the only good and overhyped new update on the S24 was just a new Google app update. Alright..
Samsung is top notch ❤

I have the base Pixel 8 and I have circle to search
You forgot to mention Samsung phones too!
So what is the difference in circle or lens? Seems useless
It is kinda useless for Pixel devices, since it was already built-in, but it's supposed to be used to search without even leaving the app.
So… its a shortcut to Google lens, nice work Samsung

Why are you talking like this? I have an instant headache.
