No, my phone does not support it (Motorola G52).

"exclusively available on the Edge 50 Ultra and the Razr 50 series"
 
So moto are using it to "push" certain models for a while, like Samsung
did ...

Circle-to-Search is sufficiently powerful and ubiquitous and well supported
and useful and an AI hook into the phone, that I opened a separate thread.

Having gone from never having heard of it moments ago to knowing something
about it (after running a search which the Apple trolls can never do), I
think it will be on every phone moving forward since Google wants it to be.

I suspect it's an entr�e point (or, in French, point d'entr�e) for AI.
So Google wants it bad(ly) on every phone.
