Here’s how Google Circle to Search could be coming to Gemini (APK teardown)
Supercharging Circle to Search might end up being Gemini's best trick yet.
- Google Circle to Search offers a convenient way to use screen input for looking things up online.
- Last month we spotted a “Circle Screen” tool that appeared to offer similar functionality for Gemini.
- We’re now able to share a demo of this kind of Gemini input in action.
Even though Android’s been around for well over a decade, some of its most useful tools are only recent additions, and one of our favorites has been the ability to ask Google about stuff we’re seeing right on our screens. Circle to Search has emerged as a surprisingly powerful way to interact with Google’s classic search tools, but these days everything’s going the way of AI, and we’ve been wondering when a similar input mechanic might be coming to Gemini. Last month we spotted an early tease of a “Circle Screen” option in a Gemini video from Google, and now we’re finally getting the chance to go hands-on.
