Enhanced Circle to Search Introduces One-Tap Actions for Android Users

Google updates Circle to Search with one-tap actions for phone numbers, emails, and URLs, enhancing user experience on Android devices.

Google just dropped a slick update to its Circle to Search feature, and honestly, it’s about time. Now, with a single tap, Android users can jump straight into calling a number, shooting off an email, or browsing a URL—no app-switching gymnastics required. Remember when Circle to Search hit the scene last year? That AI magic let you circle anything on your screen to Google it. Well, now it’s gotten even smarter, making life a tad easier for anyone who’s ever thought, “I just wanna call this place, not embark on a digital scavenger hunt.”

But wait, there’s more (because of course there is). Google’s tossing AI Overviews into the mix for English-set devices. These nifty summaries give you the gist of what you’re searching for, thanks to some AI wizardry. It’s all part of Google’s grand plan after rolling out Gemini 2.0. The update’s starting to land today, but if it’s not on your device yet, hang tight—good things come to those who wait (or at least that’s what they say).
