Circle to Search Will Soon Add On-Screen Translation
Samsung has already started rolling out its latest and is awaiting the One UI 6.1 software update to its 2023 flagship smartphones, which offers plenty of Galaxy AI features, including the most popular Circle to Search with Google, for which Samsung has already praised Google. Now Google is gearing up to upgrade this feature.
The Circle to Search feature permits you to search directly by just circling any image or text on the display without changing the app. Google plays the lead role in this Circle to Search feature, and now it is setting up to enhance the facilities within the Circle to Search feature for more convenience.
Google announced that Circle to Search will be able to translate content on the display in the coming weeks, leading to speculation. To access this feature, all you have to do is long-press the home button or the navigation bar to bring up Circle to Search, and tap the translate icon. Then, instantly, the Circle to Search feature will automatically detect the language of the content on the display and translate it to your preferred language.
With this upgrade, it will not be asked to draw a circle around it. For instance, if you open any PDF file that is in Japanese, you can convene Circle to Search, hit the translate icon, and it will convert the language of the menu to English effortlessly.
Presently, for translating content that is on the display, first you have to take a screenshot, then go to Google Translate, and then select that image. Then the app will detect the language in the screenshot and convert it to the preferred language. This seems pretty lengthy since for this you have to switch between applications, take a screenshot, then select, and more. Now Google is upgrading the Circle to Search feature, which will offer the facility to translate features seamlessly.

WhatsApp is one of the popular social media giants that is commonly used worldwide; however, at the same time that WhatsApp became popular gradually, several social media applications arrived, but they didn’t survive in the market. WhatsApp, with its convenient features, has a strong consumer base and is successful in providing better services. However, users who use the beta application sometimes get issues, like recently encountered annoying bug issues while opening the documents.
According to the reports, several users have faced an issue where they are unable to download the document file. Specifically, when they tap on the download button, it reacts as if the application is out of network and shows a pop-up message that says, “The download was unable to complete. Please try again later.” It is worth noticing that the issue only appears for beta testers. So a stable user will not get any trouble from this issue.
Usually, this type of pop-up message appears when you are not connected to the proper network. But according to the information, several beta testers are facing this issue while on a strong network. Most probably, it might be some server-side problem with interpreting the stable network.
However, WhatsApp has resolved the issue with the latest update, version 2.24.10.15. So if you are also facing the same issue, then try to update the application to the latest version. To do that, go to the Google Play Store, then search for WhatsApp, and tap on the update button.
Google already made the Android 15 Beta 1.2 available to download for Pixel owners and is gradually but actively moving towards the stable version. The stable version of Android 15 could offer more access to third-party developers for Digital Wellbeing tools.
A few years ago, Google introduced its Digital Wellbeing application in 2019, this helps users balance their digital lives by tracking how much time they spend on each application. It includes various tools such as Dashboard, App timers, and more.
Third-party developers have been limited in how they can use the digital wellbeing tools, but that may be changing with Android 15. For now, third-party applications can only make Do Not Disturb schedules using Android’s Digital Wellbeing APIs, but in the scenarios where Android 15 lands by the end of this year, they will get the power to more fully make use of the tools Google has been keeping to itself.
Particularly, third-party applications will be permitted to make changes to the screen, for instance, by turning off the Always On Display or authorizing Dark Mode. Granted, developers have acknowledged workarounds to enable those features, but now it appears that those functionalities will have official support, a report says.
If this report came true, then users would have a wider variety of applications to manage screen time and focus at their convenience, instead of relying simply on Google’s built-in tools. However, a few core functionalities; for instance, disabling touch and adjusting brightness will possibly remain restricted. It will be interesting to see the exact change in the stable version.
