- Google seems to test a new visual fine adjustment for Circle to search.
- The new animation has a rush of blue followed by colorful balls bouncing around the screen
For most, Circle to Searchs (CTS) are ui perfectly fine as it is. However, it does not prevent Google from trying to find ways to improve the appearance of the function. For example, last month, we found Google play with Input and exit animations On CTS. It seems that the company is once again trying out a new animation.
Ease APK Demolition Helps predict features that may come to a service in the future based on work code. However, it is possible that such predicted functions may not come to a public release.
Normal when you activate CTSWill it start an animation where a wave of shimmering light takes over the screen. However, some users seem to start seeing something differently.
A Galaxy S25 Ultra user who did not want to be named, tipped us to a new CTS animation. The user was on version 16.5.33.ve.arm64 in the Google app. You can check out the new visual fine adjustment in the video below.
In this new animation, users are greeted by a rush of blue followed by colorful balls that pop around on the screen. It is quite different from the waving shimmer we usually see when we activate CTS.
In addition, we were sent to another user who also saw the same change in the function. We tried to recreate the experience on our own devices, but we were unable to recreate the animation.
Although it is unclear whether Google has any intentions to roll out this new animation to the masses, it has recently squeezed out at least one update. Google has made the activation vibration For CTS longer and more prominent than before, a change that has apparently annoyed some users.
