Title: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: RED-DOG on January 28, 2018, 12:09:53 PM My google search page used to look like the one below. It had a row of shortcuts to really useful things like weather, nearest fuel, eating places and dozens more.

(https://i.imgur.com/DOoDrrf.jpg) I've tried updating the Google app and re starting my phone but it's still the same. Please help me with this. I'm an obsessive type and I will spend all my spare time (and some time when I should be doing other things) messing about with it until I either solve it or go mad trying. (option 2 looks most likely atm) TIA, Me. Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: Longines on January 28, 2018, 12:21:40 PM Is it this?

Post by: RED-DOG on January 28, 2018, 12:32:57 PM Is it this? https://www.technipages.com/android-enable-or-disable-google-feed Hi Mr Long jeans, thanks for trying to put me out of my misery. If you look at the screenshot of my current Google app you will see there is no settings icon in the top left corner. Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: 4KSuited on January 28, 2018, 12:37:49 PM I found my Google page settings by clicking the top left icon.
But I'm crap as using blonde posting options, so I can't attach an image showing it. Sorry & GL Red Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: RED-DOG on January 28, 2018, 12:44:00 PM I can access my google settings (mine are bottom right) notifications are on and feed is on.

Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: tikay on January 28, 2018, 01:34:25 PM Anyone think - just reading between the lines, like - that I touched a nerve there? Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: RED-DOG on January 28, 2018, 04:43:46 PM I'm not going to solve this am I?
Tell me, does anyone else have access to those google shortcuts described above? Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed.

https://www.techspot.com/news/68602-google-search-app-adds-shortcuts-popular-tools.html What happens when you open your Google search app? Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: tikay on January 28, 2018, 06:27:40 PM 1) No.
2) No idea, give us a clue. Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: Jamier-Host on January 28, 2018, 06:42:31 PM I thought it was just my mum that used a separate google search app.
Don't people just type it in to the address bar on Chrome? Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: Longines on January 28, 2018, 07:00:14 PM What happens when you open your Google search app? Android 7.1.1 - I get the same as you (news and no shortcuts) Android 7.0 - the missus gets the same as you. Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: rfgqqabc on January 28, 2018, 07:12:16 PM I removed the news from my feed but nothing shows up- don't normally use this though so I'm not sure if this would work or just empty the space for you.

Worth a try though. Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: RED-DOG on January 28, 2018, 07:39:57 PM I can't believe a whole raft of useful Google apps have become inaccessible through lack of a shortcut.

Title: Re: Google search app help desperately needed. Post by: rfgqqabc on January 28, 2018, 11:19:27 PM can you link to the apps on the home page of the phone?
