Ever get stuck in a game and wish you could just circle your screen for help? Well, Google might just make that dream a reality with an exciting update to their Circle to Search feature.
In the latest version of the Google app (v16.0.7), folks over at Android Authority spotted a new addition called the “Get Game Help” chip. Here’s how it works:
- Activate Circle to Search on your Android device.
- Look for a new “Get Game Help” chip.
- Tap it, and it automatically takes a screenshot of your current game screen, then searches Google with the prompt “Get help with this game.”
Imagine you’re stuck on a puzzle in your favorite game. You activate Circle to Search, tap “Get Game Help,” and voila! Google searches for solutions based on your exact game screen.
You could see results from Reddit, YouTube, or other websites offering tips and tricks for your specific game situation. While this feature sounds incredible, it’s still in its early stages.
Here are some points to consider:
- Universal Appearance: Currently, the “Get Game Help” chip appears no matter what app you’re using, not just games. Google might refine this to recognize when you’re actually playing a game.
- Search Accuracy: The effectiveness of this feature depends on Google’s ability to interpret game screens correctly. If Google can’t pinpoint where you’re stuck, you might need to add more details manually, like the game’s name or specific level.
This feature is still in development, meaning there’s room for improvement before it’s fully released. Google might work on how the feature detects gaming contexts or enhance screenshot processing for better search results.
We’ll keep an eye on this feature and update you as soon as it rolls out to the public. If you’re an avid Android gamer, this could soon become one of your go-to tools for conquering those tough levels!
