Google recently updated its search app for iOS, with the company claiming will make the app will be a lot more stable and video-friendly. The Incognito mode is also coming to Google Search app for iOS.
Incognito mode is also present on Chrome browser and allows for private browsing. According to Google, “Your searches are your business” and this why the company has introduced the ability to search privately using the incognito mode. Using this mode, a user’s browsing and search history will not be saved. There is also a Touch ID integration for the Incognito mode. This ensures only the user can enter an existing session on Incognito mode via the touch ID, thus ensuring that others can access this page.
It is also now possible to watch YouTube videos right in the Search. Clicking on a YouTube video will no longer create a new web page and will also reduce loading time.
