Google is reportedly upgrading its Circle to Search feature with a built-in QR code and barcode scanner, addressing a previous limitation. Initially introduced for gesture-driven searches earlier this year, Circle to Search now integrates the functionality of Google Lens, which already supports scanning QR codes and barcodes. This update, identified in the Google app version 15.19.45.29.arm64 beta, allows users to scan QR codes directly from their screens, streamlining processes like eSIM activation without the need for additional apps or steps.
