Circle to Search Gets an Upgrade: Now It Can Translate as You Scroll

Circle to Search has been upgraded to translate as you scroll, with translations now remaining visible while you skim through content on a smartphone. Google recently announced the update, and the feature also persists when users switch to another app, providing a continuous reading experience for multilingual pages, menus, or service descriptions. For now, the rollout will begin on Samsung Galaxy devices, with other Android models expected to receive the update later.

In addition, Google has refined Circle to Search with more intuitive one-tap actions for phone numbers, email addresses, and URLs, allowing users to place calls, draft emails, or open web pages with a single tap. Since its launch, Circle to Search has evolved through regular updates, reinforcing its role as a mobile search and real-time assistance tool. September 5, 2025.
