Circle to Search has finally figured out landscape mode
- Circle to Search makes it incredibly easy to look up basically anything you see on your phone screen.
- So far, though, in landscape mode Circle to Search would often cover up the area you circled.
- Google has now started delivering results in a floating card that can be offset to the side in landscape view.
What’s your favorite new Android feature of the past couple years? While we’re hugely impressed with what Google’s managed to do with Gemini, especially in terms of tools like NotebookLM and its Audio Overviews, the one we get the most day-to-day use out of has got to be Circle to Search. While Google Lens was a fine idea, the effortless accessibility of Circle to Search has really transformed the way we look things up with our phones. And now our beloved tool is getting even better.
Whether we’re talking about an app or part of the system UI, software on Android needs to be flexible when it comes to the display. After all, Android devices support screens of all shapes and sizes, and software should look good and feel natural across all of them. With Circle to Search, however, it’s felt like Google hadn’t really optimized things for when you’re using hardware in a landscape orientation.
