- Google has started rolling out Circle to Search to the Files by Google app with the latest beta update.
- The feature will make it easier for users to search for what’s in an image without leaving the app.
- Files by Google may also get a new AI-generated summaries feature soon that will utilize AI to draft summaries of text files.
Files by Google could soon outshine other file explorer apps on Android thanks to two upcoming features. These include a new button to help users quickly trigger Circle to Search within the app and a handy tool that will leverage AI to generate summaries of text files.
9to5Google reports that Circle to Search has already started rolling out via a server-side update to Files by Google on the beta channel. The feature appears as a new floating action button (FAB) when viewing a fullscreen image in the app. It’s still a work in progress, as Google has yet to finalize the FAB icon for the feature. The company is testing two options — a magnifying glass with an AI sparkle and the Google Lens logo — as shown in the screenshots below.
