An APK dive has revealed that Google's integration of Pixel Screenshots into the Circle to Search feature allows users to save and revisit images easily. Users can highlight an area on their screens and use a "Save" button to store images, which are automatically organized and can be queried for tailored insights using Gemini's AI. The Pixel Screenshots app debuted with other Pixel 9 AI functionalities, such as "Call Notes" and Gemini Live. The app recognizes the context of the screenshot, prompting users to research related topics. Google showcased these features during a recent event, highlighting Gemini Live's capabilities and the introduction of text-to-image generation for Messages and Gmail.

Google is enhancing the Pixel 9 series with an "Audio Search" feature for Circle to Search, allowing the app to listen to music and accept humming or singing for queries. An icon will enable users to initiate music searches by tapping it, which will display search results after listening to music from services like Spotify. Users will also be able to sing or hum songs to perform searches, similar to existing features in the Google app and YouTube Music. Additionally, there may be a quick informational bubble when opening Circle to Search, and Google is planning to introduce split-screen support for this function on Pixel devices.
