An update to Google’s Search app for iOS will help users discover content without needing to return to the search bar.
While viewing a web page within the app, you will see suggestions for related content when you reach the bottom of the page.
This allows users to continue exploring content without having to revisit the search results page or perform a new search.
Suggestions will appear underneath the navigation buttons in Google’s iOS app. You can ‘pull up’ the suggestions with a swipe of your finger and tap on a new story to navigate to a new page.
Google’s web page suggestions seem to be related to what others have viewed after reading the page you’re currently on.
In other words, suggestions are not personalized from what we can tell. They’re based on general web browsing trends.
Perhaps in the future, Google’s app will become so proficient at understanding our browsing preferences that this section can evolve from ‘People also view’ to ‘You might also like.’
Google’s related web pages feature is currently only available in the US, with plans for an eventual rollout to more countries and more languages.
