Question Screenshot being added to voice search from long press home button

[tekjock]

I just noticed today that when I long press the home button, the screen flashes, I then tap the search box, then at the top of the screen, a see a search box, with a screen shot it just grabbed. Then if i say something it adds to it ,but only searches the image. I have the Samsung Galaxy s22 Ultra with Android v15, and my wife has the Galaxy s22 plus and her search works as expected. What I expect is I long press the home button, I see a search box and I talk to do a google search. ... thoughts

It sounds like if you want to use the long press, you'll need to turn off the AI circle to search tool.

Try this.

To disable Circle to Search on your Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, you need to disable the Digital assistant app option. This will prevent the feature from appearing when you try to use it, according to Samsung. You can also disable specific AI features within the Galaxy AI settings, according to Android Police.

Steps to disable Circle to Search:

1. Open Settings: Go to the Settings app on your S22 Ultra. [1, 1, 5, 5]
2. Navigate to Digital assistant app: Within the Settings, you'll need to find the option related to the Digital assistant app. The exact path might vary slightly depending on your device's software version. [2, 2, 5, 5]
3. Disable Circle to Search: Look for a toggle or option to disable Circle to Search. Once you find it, turn it off to prevent the feature from activating. [1, 1, 2, 2]
4. Disable specific AI features: You can also disable other Galaxy AI features in the settings by navigating to Settings > Galaxy AI, selecting the specific service, and toggling it off. [3, 3, 6, 6]
