I think that the “circle to search” feature is a bit overrated and mostly just marketing.

I have integrated the google assistant into the “press and hold power button” feature and after using it I choose “seach on screen”.

For me it brings the same results with maybe one more second of effort. This feature can even recognise text and symbols so that you can copy them. Give it a try :- ) For me there is no need so implement circle to search.

          Nothing Community,

          I’m reaching out to express my enthusiasm for the Circle to Search gesture. This intuitive way to quickly access search functionality was a fantastic feature.

          I’m eager to see if this beloved feature will come in Nothing OS 3.0. It would significantly enhance the overall user experience, making navigation even more seamless and efficient.

          Let’s show our support for this feature and encourage the Nothing team to consider bringing it back in the next major OS update!

          Most of the companies have started offering the Circle To Search feature on their devices, when can we expect Nothing to give it to us?

          Have tried this before but didn’t work ever.

          But today when I was browsing the Mac mini website I saw a mouse which looked pretty cool.

          So I thought of taking a SS and searching it through Google lens, but still idk tried the 👁️ icon beside the SS preview and thought of giving it a try and I was impressed (SS below).

            We were really looking forward to Nothing OS 3.0, hoping it would bring some exciting new features. One feature we were particularly keen on was surely Circle To Search, I think most of us thought of the same about these features showing up in future update, i don’t know why they didn’t include it, But i do think everyone thought the same.

            Will Nothing os 3.0 bring the Android’s Circle to search feature ?

            We users are very interested to know if we are getting it or not.If no when can the nothing users expect such features which might save time of the user.

            As we users see samsung is having many time saving features for there users some done using ai and some as basic features.It would be highly appreciated if Nothing focuses more on bringing such features.
