• Circle to Search is meant to be a temporary exclusive for the Pixel 8 series and Galaxy S24 series.
• However, a Pixel 7 owner claims that Circle to Search is showing up in the Pixel Tips app.
• A Google product expert says the feature shouldn’t have even appeared in the Tips app in the first place.

Circle to Search, Google’s new AI-assisted search feature, first arrived on the Galaxy S24 series. The feature recently rolled out to the Pixel 8 series. Now, the Pixel 7 is reportedly saying the feature is available on it, but that’s not the truth.

As described during its reveal alongside the Galaxy S24 series, Circle to Search is a function that allows the user to circle, scribble, or tap anywhere on their screens to start a Google search. The key benefit is that you can search for whatever you want without having to leave the app you’re on. This feature was meant to be an exclusive for the Galaxy S24 series and Pixel 8 series, with the possibility of it trickling down to other Android handsets in the future.
