WASEEMGULZAR_ I think circle to search is a feature of android not nothing os, so I think nothing can’t do anything, you should text to the Google

nikhilverma1420 You are right about it that it is of Google.

But Navigation modes are features given by Nothing,like how did Nothing enabled the option to HIDE NAVIGATION BAR,So that is how I suppose that nothing should add any new gesture for Circle to search

nikhilverma1420 I am from S23 ultra .. Circle to search still work even bar is turn off. So Nothing surly can fix this.

If you are using a launcher like Nova or Lawnchair circle to search still works even with the gesture bar hidden.

KarlKeppler exactly..that is what I am asking Nothing?

It seems more like an Android issue than a Nothing issue.

Have you tried installing Micts? It’s open source. Give it a shot. It may the solution to your specific use-case

motumus Hay man, just wanted to thak you for saying about MiCTS, it really is the solution I needed, now I can set it to open when I double press the power button.

WASEEMGULZAR_ I second your opinion. I too have been forced to bring back the nav bar on screen in order to utilise the circle to search feature.

cooler_si Yep, even in Custom ROMs, you can keep the bar off and use the same spot to pull up CTS

They will eventually have to do it….
