Circle to Search feature may be available on the iOS platform this year. In an exciting development, folks over at the Mac Observer discovered that Google is preparing to upgrade Chrome for iOS with Android’s awesome Circle to Search feature.
Chrome for iOS silently added a new “Lens Circle to Search” flag. When enabled, it will likely bring the feature to Apple’s iOS devices. Well, it is expected to be a Lens-powered feature available within the application itself, rather than system-wide integration.
Circle to Search debuted earlier this year with the Galaxy S24 series. It’s developed by Google for Galaxy and Pixel devices. As of now, a number of Samsung and Google devices have access to it. Meanwhile, the expansion may take place to more Android vendors and iOS too.
This feature is literally powered by Google Lens. Thanks to system-wide integration, it feels like a core feature of the Android operating system. Through an app update, Google seems to be planning Circle to Search beyond Android devices.
