It adds the new Circle to Search feature that was initially announced for the new Samsung S24 series. It also activates the body temperature sensor in the Pixel 8 Pro. The Thermometer app lets you point your phone at your forehead to take your temp, and results can be saved to your Fitbit profile.

Circle to Search lets you circle, highlight, scribble, or tap to Google search anything on your screen, in any app, including images.
