Google is embarking on an innovative journey to enhance user experience within its main app. In a significant update, the existing “Saved” tab will be replaced by a new “Activity” tab, designed to consolidate all saved items and search history into a single, accessible location. This change aims to alleviate the frustration users often encounter when navigating through multiple tabs in both Chrome and the Google app.
What you need to know
- The ‘Saved’ tab is being replaced by an ‘Activity’ tab that brings everything together in one place, including search history from Chrome and the Google app.
- The update will simplify things by creating a single spot for your search history and saved items, instead of having them scattered across different tabs.
- The change is in a limited test phase, with only a few users getting it so far, and has been in development for the past two months.
This new “Activity” tab promises to streamline the user experience by providing a seamless app-based interface, moving away from the traditional web view. Users will have the convenience of saving, sharing, or deleting history items directly from the app, making interactions more fluid and intuitive.
As reported by Android Authority, the feature is currently in a testing phase, with a select group of users experiencing the new functionality. One such user, identified as @andrey4ik21pro1_q, discovered the “Activity” tab on their Pixel 8 Pro, utilizing Google app version 15.44.25.29.arm64. Interestingly, the feature was not available on another Pixel 8 Pro with a newer app version, indicating that the rollout is still in its early stages.
With two months of development behind it, the “Activity” tab is poised for a broader rollout in the coming weeks, promising to enhance how users interact with their saved content and search history. As Google continues to refine this feature, users can look forward to a more organized and efficient way to manage their digital activities.
