The Pixel 8 (Pro) will receive a new search gesture in January 2024

Google plans to introduce the new search functionality in the first month of the year.

A few days ago, Google announced a brand new search function for Android, which will initially launch exclusively on new Samsung smartphones. However, Google has already made it clear that it won't stay that way for long. There's now more information and also a first look at the new feature on the Pixel 8.

Of course, Mishal Rahman has already been able to activate and use the new function on one of Google's phones, and there is a demonstration in the following video. Press and hold the navigation bar to start a Google search. The search bar opens, but at the same time the new gesture can also be used.

Here's a demo of the new Search Circle gesture on a file @madebygoogle Pixel 8 Pro! This gesture lets you tap, scribble, or draw a circle around text or images on the screen to search for them on Google.

This feature will be rolling out to the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro starting January 31. pic.twitter.com/Lf6bVabJaG

Google will also review the settings accordingly and offer new options. According to our colleague, all this will be available on our Pixel 8 devices on January 31, 2024. I think, first of all, it will be necessary to update the Google application, which will then be delivered.
