If you only connect the web search with the Google app for Android, you should definitely take a closer look at what else the app has to offer. In recent years, Google’s app has grown very strongly in terms of functionality. Although it continues to offer primarily search functions, it is also much more extensive and convenient than a few years ago. There are seamless integrations to Google Lens, Assistant and Co.
Search by image, text, or just with humming noises
Let’s start directly with the search. It is still possible via text. Logical. But now, thanks to Google Lens, also via image and text at the same time. So you can refine a search query very much. Example: If you are looking for a shoe by photo, but would like to have it in a different color and style, you can refine and adjust your image search using text.
Of course, you can also search with the integrated voice input. By the way, this even works for music. To find a title whose name you just don’t want to think of, you can just sing yourself or even just hum the song. Simply tap the microphone icon of the Google app and start music recognition.
Google app: Extremely helpful in everyday life
The Discover feature allows you to discover content that may be of interest to you. In the collections, you can store content from the web, Google Maps places and other things. The built-in Lens feature, the colorful camera button in the search bar, also allows you to do homework help, translations, copy handwritten notes, and more by simply photographing the corresponding content.
In addition to voice input or search, the built-in microphone is also good for accessing the Google Assistant. This can be used to start calls, create and query appointments, create reminders and much more.
Last but not least, the Google app directly has the possibility to offer new functions of mobile search. For example, animals and objects in 3D or augmented reality. If you have landed deeper into the web with the Google app, it offers you with autofill and other functions everything that the Chrome browser also allows you.
