Enhanced Search Experience: Google's Circle to Search on Pixel 6 & Galaxy S23

Google is rolling out its innovative ‘Circle to Search’ feature to the Pixel 6 series and Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S23 lineup, promising users a more intuitive and efficient search experience. This gesture triggers the search function, enabling users to search for information, apps, contacts, and more with ease.

Google is removing this two-step process and integrating a translate button directly within Circle to Search. With a single tap, users can now instantly translate the selected text, eliminating the need for copying and switching apps. This enhancement streamlines the translation process, offering users a more seamless experience when accessing information in different languages. Additionally, Google is enhancing the shopping experience within Search. Users can now expect more personalised ‘style recommendations’ when searching for apparel, shoes, and accessories. This personalisation is achieved by allowing users to rate options with a simple thumbs up/down or a swipe action.

Google remembers these ratings, ensuring future shopping results better reflect your taste. Furthermore, Google is testing trip planning features within Google Search, currently available only for users in the US searching in English. This feature aims to simplify the trip planning process, providing users with relevant information and recommendations directly within the Search interface, further enhancing the utility of Google's search platform.

As the Circle to Search feature begins to reach Pixel 6 series and Samsung Galaxy S23 devices, users can expect to enjoy a more coherent and comprehensible search experience, enhancing their overall smartphone usage even more. With its simple yet powerful functionality, Circle to Search exemplifies Google's ongoing efforts to innovate and improve the mobile user experience for Android users worldwide.
