Circle to Search launch is clumsy with gestures, but the feature itself shows promise
-
Launching Circle to Search by holding down the gesture bar is frustrating due to the small touch target and accidentally triggering Recents instead.
-
Circle to Search feels designed for 3-button navigation rather than gestures. Replacing the home button press for Assistant is a shocking change.
-
A preferred solution would be to set one of the diagonal swipes to launch Circle to Search instead of Assistant.
-
Circle to Search itself has a great experience with animations and capabilities like text copying via optical character recognition.
-
Hopefully it becomes easier to launch Circle to Search with gestures, but Google should revisit this since Circle to Search is here to stay.
