Circle to Search Update: Full Screen Text Search

Summary:

  • New Feature: The 'search box' in Circle to Search (CtS) for Android will now use the entire screen to generate suggestions and results.
  • Behavior Change: Previously, tapping the pill-shaped field allowed users to enter a text query. Now, launching CtS captures the entire screen and automatically adds it to the search query, prompting users to 'Ask about this image.'
  • User Control: For a regular text search, users need to tap the image twice to remove it from the box.
  • Rollout: This update is currently available in the beta version of the Google app (16.18), and an introductory prompt will explain the change to users upon rollout.
  • Additional Updates: The feature also includes a transparent navigation bar, improved long-press functionality, and enhanced vibration feedback.
