Circle to Search, the handy Android phone feature that lets users quickly search for something by circling an item on the screen, is getting two new features, plus a new look.
PiunikaWeb teamed up with AssembleDebug to discover that Google is developing two new features for Circle to Search. It looks like we’ll soon see ‘Copy Image’ and ‘Share Image’ options when using the search function.
Currently, Circle to Search simply allows the user to circle, scribble, highlight, or tap anything on the screen. It then displays information about the content within the selected area. However, these new options add a few more features to the feature.
Just as it sounds, tapping “Copy Image” will copy the selected area as a screenshot. In addition to the snapshot, an image editor opens and allows the user to add comments or make other corrections. Once this is done, the user can copy the edited image and share the screenshot in supported applications.
As for the “Share Image” option, this option is a more direct way to share. Tapping this option will turn the selected area into a screenshot and allow it to be instantly shared with supported apps.

With the new additions to Circle to Search, users can save some time. Instead of taking a full screenshot and then going into editing to cut out the unnecessary part, the cropping part can be taken care of in one step.
In addition to the new options, it seems that the user interface may also undergo some transformation. In the example above, you can see what the current version looks like on the left and right.
Earlier this month, Google introduced the Circle to Search app for the Pixel Fold. The feature is currently available on the Pixel 8 series, Pixel 7 series, Pixel 6 series, Pixel 7a, and Pixel 6a. It’s also found on select Samsung phones, including the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series.
