Ever since Google announced the Circle to Search feature, there has been massive hype around it. Initially, the feature was available to flagship smartphones from Google and Samsung. However, Samsung gradually made the feature available for the older Galaxy phones from 2021 as part of the Galaxy AI update. Sadly, the Galaxy S21 FE was one such model that didn’t get the Circle to Search for unknown reasons. No worries, that has changed now.
Galaxy S21 FE gets the magical Circle to Search feature bundled with August 2024 security update
This week, the Circle to Search was made available for the Galaxy S21 FE as part of the August 2024 security update. So, if you are a Galaxy S21 FE user who has been waiting to experience the magic of AI, this is your time. For the uninitiated, the Circle to Search is an exciting AI feature that enables you to get information about any visual element you see on a website, photo, or video.
All you’ve to do is long-press the home button or gesture handle when you spot something interesting. The best part is that the feature runs Google Search as soon as you circle or highlight the element. That too, without having to leave the app you’re using. Handy, right? Let’s not forget that the Circle to Search feature also replaces the Google Assistant on Samsung phones with Galaxy AI support.
The latest update has rolled out in Vietnam but soon it will be available for other markets too
It is worth noting that the latest update for Galaxy S21 FE also bundles the August 2024 security patch. It fixes 50 security vulnerabilities in Samsung One UI as well as Android. The latest Galaxy S21 FE update that brought Circle to Search was rolled out initially in Vietnam. However, we expect the update to make its way soon to the other regions as well.
Whenever it comes your way, don’t forget to Download and Install the update from your device’s settings. First, head over to Settings > Software update. Next, follow the on-screen instructions to update your Galaxy S21 FE to enjoy Circle to Search.
