- Google is working to bring onscreen barcode and QR code scanning features to Circle to Search.
- We now have a working demo of the feature.
Circle to Search has been positively received ever since its launch with the Galaxy S24 series. The ability to search directly from your screen while passing on context is great for searching quickly and conveniently. However, the feature can be improved, and we recently spotted that Google was working to incorporate an onscreen barcode and QR code scanner feature into Circle to Search. Now, we have a working demo of the feature from within Circle to Search.
We spotted barcode support in Circle to Search in the Google app v15.19.45.29.arm64 beta. With v15.25.32, we managed to activate the feature, and here’s how it will work when it rolls out.
