Samsung debuted the ‘Circle to Search by Google’ feature on the Galaxy S24 series as part of the Galaxy AI package. It has been a couple of months since the debut of the ‘Circle to Search’ feature, which is still a hot topic in the tech industry. Now this feature is expected to arrive on Galaxy Book and Galaxy Chromebook laptops and PCs.
Samsung exclusively launched the Circle to Search feature on the Galaxy S24 series, then expanded it to more Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S22, and other phones, along with the One UI 6.1 update. Now Google is setting up to bring it to the Chrome web browser on desktop operating systems; somewhere, this points out the probability that it could come to the Galaxy Book, Galaxy Chromebook laptops, and PCs.
At the moment, Google Chrome for desktop features Google Lens to search for text and images on the screen engine. Google seems to be working on the Circle to Search-like UI for the web browser. This is being speculated by a post on X shared by a tipster (via SamMobile) who mentioned that the new Lens UI in Chrome now has a new animation that appears like a familiar feature, ‘Circle to Search’, given that it is expected that this feature will be in Chrome’s version of “Circle to Search.”
While clicking the Google Lens extension, a Circle to Search-like UI will appear, and then you can click and drag using the mouse pointer to draw around the text or image you want to search on the screen. After circling the content you want to search for on the screen, the selected part will be highlighted in a rounded rectangular shape.
