Google is reportedly enhancing its Circle to Search feature by adding an on-screen barcode and QR code scanner. This gesture drive feature, introduced earlier this year, offers users the convenience of searching directly from the screen. However, it didn't support QR and barcode scanning. However, another Google service, Google Lens, supports it. With Circle to Search now supporting QR and barcode scanning, it looks like Google could integrate Lens into Circle to Search to make it even better.

Circle Search: QR and Barcode Support

As reported by consumer technology news platform Android Authority, support for QR and barcode scanning in Circle to Search was spotted in the Google app version 15.19.45.29.arm64 beta. The feature was manually enabled in version 15.25.32. Once enabled, in addition to searching for other barcodes on Google, the app will display barcodes on the screen. When you scan a code, a chip will appear next to it, with a URL or a preview.

Bringing this feature into Circle to Search will allow users to scan QR codes they receive via email for purposes like eSIM activation. This is already possible with Google Lens, but users must take a screenshot of the QR code and open it in the Gallery app or use the Google Lens gallery scanner. This new feature aims to streamline the search process and make it more convenient.

Circle to Search was initially introduced on the Samsung Galaxy S24 and has since become available on select Google Pixel devices, while the QR and barcode scanner features are currently in testing and should be widely deployed soon.
