Google enabling Play Store installs from within search results

Posted on by

Google seems to be hard at work rolling out and testing features to kick off the new year. This one is again centered around search on mobile and seems to be specific to searches made within the Google app.

You are no doubt accustomed to seeing apps appear with an install button within the Google app when searching for them by name, but Google is now allowing users to install the app directly from the Google app via a simple pop up rather than pulling you out to the Play Store. For images of the new functionality hit the source link below.

We haven’t seen this on our devices yet, but unlike the search options we saw last week, this one seems like it should unquestionably be rolled out to all users in time.

While Google is busy plugging away on updates to the Google app is there anything else you would like to see changed?

Google now lets you install apps directly from Google Search results

Posted on by

Sometimes, when searching for something on the Google, you might see a suggestion to install an app. Normally, you’d click on the app suggestion which opens a link into the Play Store, and then you’d hit install and go from there.

The new feature is: If you click on a suggestion, the app will directly begin installing from the search results. You will get the installation banner that appears before downloading an app, all without having to open the Play Store at all.

This feature is a minor one that may be slowly but surely rolling out through Google Play Services. It looks like this will work when using the Google App or the Google Search widget on Android. It doesn’t seem like this would work from Chrome or another browser.

Android Police has had reports of this feature working dating back to about a month ago. While none of our devices were able to perform this action, let us know if you are able to do this using the Google app.
