Circle to Search is now smarter: perform multiple searches directly on the screen

Since its launch, Circle to Search has established itself as an intuitive way to analyze content directly on your smartphone display. Products, places, and objects can be identified by circling, tapping, or highlighting them without switching apps. With the latest update, Google is going one step further. Instead of just capturing a single element, you can now select multiple areas at the same time.

Specifically, this means that the system recognizes all selected elements simultaneously in an image containing a variety of objects, such as furniture in a living room or multiple animal species in a nature photo. For example, Circle to Search identifies different types of fish in aquarium images and provides appropriate information, images, and additional links. This is made possible through advanced “query fan-out” technology that combines and intelligently evaluates multiple search queries behind the scenes.

The technology base is the new generation Google Gemini. The model analyzes images contextually, creates multi-step plans for object recognition, and performs multiple search processes simultaneously. The results are then combined and displayed in a structured manner. This creates a very comprehensive search experience, with notable benefits, especially for complex motifs and sources of inspiration.

Focus on fashion and inspiration: Circle to Search as a shopping tool

The field of fashion and lifestyle is a particularly rapidly growing application area. According to Google, shopping-related search queries are one of the most frequently applied areas for Circle to Search. New multiple search features allow you to analyze your entire outfit in one step, including jackets, pants, shoes, accessories, and more.

On supported devices, marking multiple garments on the display is sufficient. Circle to Search recognizes individual items and displays links to similar products and matching offers. This creates a kind of visual moodboard that you can access directly in your online store.

Google is going further in some markets, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, India, and Japan, where virtual fitting rooms are already available. Users can digitally try on clothes from a list of products. On Galaxy S26 series and Pixel 10, you can access search directly from Circle without going through another app.

This update provides multiple visual results for each search query, further increasing visibility for retailers and brands. At the same time, users will benefit from significantly streamlined inspiration and research features that integrate seamlessly into their daily lives on Android.

conclusion

Google is taking Circle to Search to a new level with multiple searches. The combination of AI-powered image analysis, parallel object recognition, and direct shopping integration makes this feature more versatile than ever. The rollout will begin with the Samsung Galaxy S26 series and Pixel 10, with expansion to other Android devices also announced. In terms of pricing, this functionality remains part of each device software and is available at no additional cost.
