Google's Circle to Search could soon protect you from fake AI-generated images

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with S Pen drawn, demonstrating Circle to Search.

As is the trend for most AI-infused products these days, Circle to Search is expanding – again. The feature, which premiered on the Galaxy S24 series in January of this year and then rolled out to other Android devices, allows you to simply circle something on screen – be it an amazing slice of cheesecake while scrolling through Instagram, or the next fashion item – and get search results for it. 

Now, Google is expanding Circle to Search to include a version of this handy tool. You can still circle anything you'd like on the screen, but if you're looking for intel on an image, it can now add additional context and even look into the metadata, which could tell you the type of camera it was shot on and even when it was created or exported.
