A recent update to the Circle To Search feature has removed the quick access shortcut to Google Lens. Users now have to open the Google app or use a home screen widget to access the feature, making it less convenient for frequent users.

. Previously, when activated, there was a field at the bottom of the screen that you could tap to perform a text query. On the right side of this field was the"G" logo that opens the Google app, a microphone icon for voice search, and an icon for Google Lens . There was also a button with a music note for song search and another for translations. This provided quick access to a variety of search functions, all within the Circle to Search interface.

Losing the Google Lens shortcut is a notable change for users who frequently used the feature. Google Lens allows users to search for information about objects they see in the real world through their phone's camera. Without the shortcut in Circle to Search, accessing Google Lens requires additional steps, such as opening the Google app or using a home screen widget.
