The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has finally received the much-anticipated Circle to Search feature with the August 2024 security update. This update enhances the device’s functionality and addresses over 50 security vulnerabilities in Android and Samsung’s One UI. Let’s dive into what this means for you and how you can make the most of this new feature.
Circle to Search is an innovative AI-powered feature that allows users to circle any text or image on their screen to perform a Google search without leaving the current app. This feature is part of Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite and is designed to make searching for information more intuitive and seamless.
Despite sharing the same Exynos and Snapdragon chipsets as the other Galaxy S21 models, the Galaxy S21 FE did not initially receive the Circle to Search feature. This oversight has now been corrected, bringing the Galaxy S21 FE in line with its siblings.
The August 2024 update also includes significant security improvements, fixing over 50 vulnerabilities. This ensures that your device remains secure while enjoying the latest features.
