Launched earlier this year with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series and Pixel 8 lineup, the Circle to Search feature has slowly made its way to other phones. Pressing the Home button or navigation pill appears an overlay that allows users to drag, write, or circle any objects and text on the screen to perform a visual lookup.
According to a recent report, Google is working on an update for Circle Two Search that could allow users to scan QR codes on their screen, without leaving the current app they are using. The company’s Google Lens app allows users to scan QR codes using their camera or by reading an existing image on their phone. The feature was spotted in a beta version of the app in late June, and may be introduced to users in the future.
