Update this Google app since it has given your phone some amazing new features
A long-awaited update has been made to the search bar that we use on our Android phones every day. Google has added a feature we’ve been asking for for years: we can now customize this bar with shortcuts to the tools we use most, making it even more useful.
As Android Police reports, the latest version of the Google app offers us nine different options to customize this search bar. From translator to song search, the possibilities are really interesting.
Google app updates make the search bar more practical on a daily basis. Google has added shortcuts to features like Translator or Song Search, eliminating several steps every time we need to use these tools.
Among the new features are options we use frequently, like checking the weather or financial news. And while Google is making it easier to manage our accounts from its new website, setting up these new buttons is as simple as holding down the search bar and clicking the pencil icon.
This update comes at a time of change for Google, as the company reorganizes its Android and other product teams. The search bar could be made smaller without losing new features, allowing for better use of screen space.
For now, there's one small detail that needs improvement: the new button doesn't change color to match the phone's position, which is what other elements in the latest versions of Android do. The update is available for all Android phones running the latest version of Google's app, though iPhone users will have to wait.
This improvement will change the way many of us use the Google search bar. Having direct access to features like a translator or song search makes it a more practical tool, and Google will likely continue to add more options in future updates.
