Android users unlock ‘amazing’ hidden Google trick to celebrate launch of Deadpool movie – how to find it on your phone

EAGLE-EYED Android owners have spotted an "amazing" new Google trick that celebrates the recent release of the Deadpool & Wolverine movie.

It's Google latest Android-exclusive Easter egg.

It sees a miniature version of Deadpool pop-up on your phone screen with one simple gesture.

Here's how you do it:

The trick relies on Google's Circle to Search feature, which was released on a handful of Android devices earlier this year.

How does Circle to Search work?

Circle to Search is only available on the Galaxy S24, the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and for now.

To activate it, all you need to do is long press on the home button.

Then, circle, highlight scribble on or tap anything you see on screen for instant search results from Google.

Once you're familiar with Circle to Search, find any online reference to Deadpool & Wolverine on your Android phone.

You can try The Sun's review of the 'dead-cool' new film.

Next, press and hold the circular button on the bottom taskbar.

Use Samsung's S Pen or your finger to circle the words "Deadpool and Wolverine" on the screen.

Then, watch as a tiny Deadpool, or other characters like Wolverine and Dogpool, appear on your device.

According to Mashable, Google will remove the feature on August 31.
