The Google App on iOS now has a new shortcut feature that replicates the function of Circle to Search. It works on iPhone 15 Pro with the Action button, as well as Back Tap.
One of Android’s best new features, Circle to Search, is unfortunately not available to iPhone users. But Google is throwing Apple fans a bone with a solution that essentially replicates the function. Google’s design manager for Google Lens, Minsang Choi, shared a new iOS shortcut in a post on X that’s designed to leverage the Action button on iPhone 15 Pro devices.
The accessibility feature lets you double-tap or triple-tap the rear of your iPhone and activate system functions like Magnifier, turn on the Flashlight, or in this case, run an iOS shortcut. If you’d like to try the new Circle to Search-ish feature using Back Tap, first confirm you have an iPhone 6S or newer running the latest iOS, then: * Install the Google app on your iPhone if you haven’t already. * Install this Google app shortcut for iOS.
