Last updated
Circle to Search triggers from the navigation bar to search what is on screen. Toggles live in Android Settings and vary by brand. Results flow through Google Lens style pipelines.
There is no local results folder to back up. History follows your Google Account activity controls. If the gesture fails, check navigation mode and app updates first.
