New Search Window
The new window that pops up when you select a search result is ridiculous. It takes up more screen space and you are unable to select the url bar to search there like you could before. Instead, now you must return to the google search results page and type your query there instead. The page url still shows at the top of your screen, and selecting it copies the link instead of allowing you to modify it. This change significantly slows down search time and tab browsing time. Additionally, the back arrow from the top is now gone, leaving you with the back and forward arrows at the bottom, which do not have the same affect as the large back arrow that used to be present.
I like this app, I have never had much problems with it, if this change does not become optional or removed I will most likely be removing this app and looking for an alternative, as this change seriously diminishes the app’s usability.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your feedback with us! The product team is constantly working to improve the Search experience across all devices, so we'll be sure to pass this along for you.
Google - get rid of the blue pop up tips!!!
Have an issue and cannot find anyone at Google to help. Literally EVERY SINGLE time I am on Google on my iphone, these blue “tip” boxes pop up. They contain directions and/or explanations for VERY self explanatory buttons and things on the Google page. For example -I search something like “candy” and then on the results that come up there is an overview of the subject searched. Then there is a blue box that pops up and points to that overview button and says “tap here for summary and general info”. I’m not understanding why Google has to define/explain this button every time I search something. I know what overview means. Or I look up a restaurant and a box forms over the “order here” button on the result page and says “view menu and order food.” If these instructional pop ups only occurred once when I first used Google I would understand but every time I search something there are blue boxes all over the page speaking to me like I am dumb lol. Soooo unnecessary and so annoying. Trying to find a way to disable this but no one can give me any info. I’ve tweeted at them and they don’t answer, I’ve called apple who says it’s Google’s issue but no one cares. Have stopped using Google because of how annoying it is.

Images no longer can we saved unless you go to a website
I’ve use Google for years and preferred over Apple’s Siri search any day but I’m starting to wonder if I should just try to adapt into other Main Street in mindframe’s and ditch google all together. It’s really hard when I know a search engine is doing its best but then it loses those few key features that make it better than the rest. I may have to look into some of the other search engines that allow you to save images because the whole reason I have it on my main screen and I told my mom and many family members to download it was for the ease of access and customizable options. But as of late there was a glitch a while ago that wouldn’t let you save photos it was hard it was like popping up now I won’t even give you an option it’s just photo lens which then searches for the same image but that doesn’t let you save it so all I can think of is to screenshot it which is not helpful. If this gets fixed I’m willing to come back possibly and keep on advertising for what a great search engine it used to be. I really hope they fix this. Otherwise it’s just another search engine…
