3. Find travel inspiration
Circle to Search can be used to get ideas for your next trip. Let’s say you come across a video or social media post of someone exploring a city, and you notice a uniquely designed building. Instead of taking a screenshot and switching apps to search it, typing out a description, or scrolling through the comments, you can simply scribble over the building using Circle to Search to quickly identify it (and perhaps add it to your travel itinerary).
4. Compare options easily
Now you can effortlessly compare options without leaving your screen. For instance, if you’re texting with friends to decide where to eat and they send you two different restaurant options, you can long press the home button or navigation bar and highlight one of the restaurant’s names. Without leaving your messaging app, you’ll see the restaurant’s menu, photos of popular dishes, customer reviews, and its location. After looking at both options, just swipe away and let the group know which spot you’re craving.
5. Ask more complex questions
Circle to Search not only provides quick information, it can also offer AI-powered overviews (available in select countries). For instance, if you’ve come across several social media posts with interesting-looking corn dogs and want to know why they are trending, you can use Circle to Search to ask a more nuanced question, like “Why are these so popular?” You’ll quickly learn that these are Korean corn dogs and understand why they’re trending through helpful information pulled together from across the web. Once you’re done, you can swipe away and get right back to scrolling.
