Google Pixel phones to get split-screen support for “Circle to Search”

Circle to Search, the popular AI feature that lets you search the web by tapping, scribbling, or drawing a circle over any text or image on the screen, is gaining a useful upgrade on Google Pixel phones. According to findings by Mishaal Rahman (via Android Authority), Google is working on bringing split-screen support to Circle to Search, meaning that you’ll soon be able to use Circle to Search even while having two apps open on your screen in split-screen mode.Circle to Search was first introduced on the Galaxy S24 series of phones and has since been launched on Google’s Pixel line of devices. It has become a popular feature among users who find it to be a quick and convenient way to search for information on their phones. However, a major drawback of Circle to Search on Pixel phones has been that it couldn’t be used in split-screen mode. This meant that if you were using two apps in split-screen mode and wanted to search for something using Circle to Search, you would have had to exit the split-screen mode first.
