Google’s Circle to Search feature, which allows users to circle text, images, or videos on their screen for instant searching, is now accessible to Xiaomi device owners through a third-party solution.
Originally limited to Google Pixel and select Android flagship devices, the feature was not natively available on many Xiaomi smartphones. Developers have now created third-party APKs that bring the functionality to more users.
The third-party app works by overlaying a custom interface on the screen, enabling users to search circled content with a simple gesture or by adding a toggle to the quick settings panel.
While the solution offers expanded access to the feature, users are advised to download APKs only from reputable sources.
The workaround demonstrates the creativity of the Android development community in making advanced features more widely available.
Circle to Search uses artificial intelligence to understand and process the content users circle, eliminating the need for manual typing and providing a more intuitive way to retrieve information.
Xiaomi users interested in trying the feature can download the third-party APK, though they should exercise caution and verify the source of the download.
