Because the identify implies, all you need to do is carry out a circle gesture on the display screen to look the net for extra details about the contents of that circle.
It could possibly be a bit of textual content, part of a picture, or one thing you simply noticed in a video. The AI will acknowledge the objects in that circle and attempt to discover related info on-line. Since looking the net for info is how most individuals use the net, Circle to Search is a characteristic I’d positively use on supported units.
