Earlier this year, we saw signs that two of those methods were growing closer together \u2014 and now, that project is finally rolling out broadly.<\/p>\n<p>Back in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/gemini-circle-screen-3557330\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">May<\/a>, we got our first glimpse at how Circle to Search-like functionality would play out in Gemini. In that in-progress version of the feature, you could share a screenshot with Gemini, then circle portions of the screenshot to zero in on what you wanted to search for. The implementation rolling out now saves a step: after calling up Gemini, you just draw a circle around the part of your screen you want to share.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Pm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e__g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764012188_865_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e__g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764012189_50_google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter user <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/HHUUEELL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">HHUUEELL<\/a>\u00a0has shared that they\u2019re now able to access this latest version of the feature Google has previously referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/gemini-circle-screen-feature-leak-3543856\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Circle Screen<\/a>. You can see how it looks below.<\/p>\n<p>This latest iteration on the idea makes searching for a portion of your screen with Gemini just as easy as using Circle to Search \u2014 the only difference in the workflow is that in the Gemini version, you first swipe in from the corner rather than holding down on the home pill. Once you\u2019ve circled the portion you\u2019re interested in, you can ask Gemini whatever you want about the content you highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>This feature isn\u2019t universally available yet (I don\u2019t have it on my Pixel 9 Pro), but our tipster says it\u2019s up and running on their Samsung phone. If you\u2019re a visual search fan, keep an eye out for this coming soon to your own devices.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
