Circle to Search is starting to roll out to the Pixel Tablet for beta testers

According to a report from Android Authority, based on user input, “Circle to Search” has finally arrived on the Google Pixel Tablet. This feature lets you highlight a bit of text or an image on your screen, and Google will instantly search for more information on the web.Circle to Search has been a favorite since its launch, rolling out slowly first on last year’s Samsung and Google’s flagships and then eventually making it to other devices like the Pixel 8, which received the feature as a surprise Feature Drop. Over the past several months, the feature then steadily arrived on the Pixel 6 and 7 series, and various Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets.

Google then promised back in March that the feature would “soon” arrive to other devices, and not a month later the Pixel Fold received it. Fast-forward just a few weeks, and we are now seeing these reports that for some users running Android 15 Beta 1.2, the Circle to Search feature is showing up with a notification to try it out.

While the rollout on the Pixel Tablet seems limited right now, as only a few users have reported having it, hopefully it won’t be long before all Pixel Tablet users can take advantage of it. For owners of older Samsung devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and Galaxy Z Fold 3, Circle to Search will arrive as part of the One UI 6.1 update which is already rolling out in South Korea. This means that it won’t be long before it eventually rolls out globally (Europe and the U.S.) for all to take advantage of.
