Google has introduced the latest update to Search, making it easier than ever for users to stay in the know and get relevant information. Users will experience tappable shortcuts on the Google app for Android, providing users easy access to tools and the ability to explore deeper within various topics. Beneath the search bar, users can now find tappable shortcuts enabling quick access to key information like cricket scores, weather, nearby restaurants and more.

If users need to locate the nearest ATM or find out where the latest movies are playing or even plan to pick up groceries, Google will now help find what they need.

Besides the four most often used shortcuts on the home screen, users  will find other shortcuts in the Google app by simply tapping the little arrow to the right of the shortcuts to access everything from nearby gas stations, pharmacies, convenience stores, even discovering vacation destinations and booking flight tickets.

Google has made it easier to access information about their favourite games. A single tap on the Google app can now bring up match statistics such as the current and past scores, cricket news, and overall team standings for your favourite ICC team. Google will also be adding new shortcuts for big moments and events.
