Google adds 'Song Search history' to Circle to Search on Android phones
Google expands Circle to Search capabilities with Song Search history, allowing Android users to view recently identified tracks with cover art, artist names, and quick access links New Delhi Google is expanding its Circle to Search features on Android by introducing a Song Search history function. According to a report by 9To5Google, this new addition enables users to view a list of previously identified tracks, complete with album art, artist names, and identification dates. The update aligns Android functionality with iOS, where a similar feature has been available since February. Song Search history comes to Android To access the feature, users need to tap the music note icon within the Circle to Search interface. A clock icon will then appear in the top-right corner, which, when selected, opens the "Recent song searches" page. This page displays a grid of previously identified tracks, each with song title, artist name, and the date it was recognised. This visual search enhancement is available with Google app version 16.27, which is being rolled out to both beta and stable users on Android. Google recommends force-stopping the app via App Info if the feature does not appear immediately. Consistent experience with iOS While iOS users have had access to Song Search history since February through a home-screen shortcut or the dedicated 'Song Search' app, Android users now receive the same capability natively within Circle to Search. This inclusion further integrates music discovery into Android's search experience and makes song identification easier to revisit and explore. Smarter Android features incoming This update follows other recent enhancements to Circle to Search, such as AI Mode for smarter follow-up queries and in-game assistance that offers real-time tips during gameplay. With the addition of Song Search history, Android users now have a more seamless and visually appealing way to track and rediscover music.

Microsoft has Google's Circle to Search alternative in works for Windows 11
Microsoft seems to be building its Google's Circle to Search alternative for Windows 11. In the latest Insider Preview Build 26200.5702, rolling out to testers in the Dev Channel, the company has introduced a feature called 'describe image' as part of its 'Click to Do' experience on Copilot+ PCs. While not officially pitched as a Circle to Search alternative, the functionality hints at a similar goal – helping users interact with visual elements and providing them with more information about it. There are two key differences between Google's Circle to Search and Microsoft 's describe image feature. The first being that the former is primarily for smartphones, and the latter is for Copilot+PCs only for now. The second key differentiator is how it performs the task. Circle to Search works by collecting relevant information about the searched object from online sources, whereas Microsoft's feature does not necessarily need to search for it online; rather, it can see what the image or infographic is and generate a description about it directly on the device by processing the data locally. What is 'describe image' in Windows 11 for Copilot+ PCs The describe image feature lets users click on an image, chart, or graph and get a detailed description, explaining the content of the image selected. This feature does not rely on cloud-based image recognition; rather, it analyses the infographic locally and offers information about it without searching online. Microsoft said that the approach to use on-device capability is to keep user data private while still leveraging AI to extract insights from visual content. According to Microsoft, the feature will be useful for getting quick overviews of visuals like graphs or images embedded in documents, apps, or web pages. It could help users quickly understand visuals without having to interpret them manually. The feature is currently being tested on PCs powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon platform, but Microsoft has confirmed that support for Intel and AMD-based Copilot+ PCs is on the way. How is this similar to Google's Circle to Search Google's Circle to Search, available on select Android phones, allows users to circle any object on their screen – text, image, or video – and instantly search for it online to get more details about it. As explained above, unlike Google's method that relies on cloud-based image recognition, Microsoft's implementation processes everything locally. The 'describe image' tool doesn't involve real-time web search yet, but the essence is comparable: identify visual elements on-screen and extract relevant information about them. When will it be widely available? For now, 'describe image' is being rolled out gradually to Windows Insiders using Snapdragon-based Copilot+ PCs, with support for Intel and AMD-powered machines 'coming soon.' Notably, users must also enable the setting to receive the latest features as soon as they're available (via Settings > Windows Update).
