Android 15 is copying this Circle to Search function from One UI 6.1

Google launched Circle to Search (CtS) in January this 12 months with the Galaxy S24 sequence smartphones. This function lets you seek for something on the display screen by simply drawing a circle across the object. The identical month, Google launched CtS on Pixel gadgets. Nonetheless, not like on Galaxy gadgets, the place CtS works even while you use functions within the split-screen mode, CtS doesn’t work when apps are getting used within the split-screen mode on Pixel gadgets. Effectively, Google appears to be fixing that concern.

Based on a new report from Mishaal Rahman on Android Authority, in Android 15 Beta on the Pixel 8 Professional, the Pixel Launcher has a flag, that, when enabled, lets you use Circle to Search even when you’re utilizing functions within the split-screen mode, similar to Galaxy smartphone and tablets.

At present, there’s no data on Google’s plans to supply this function within the secure model of Android 15 however we hope that it does as it might be a really helpful addition. Fortuitously, Samsung smartphone and pill house owners don’t have to attend for it. Options like this are why I choose One UI over inventory Android.
