Google App and the Google Chrome App – What’s the difference?

 

The Google app essentially is the Google search engine compressed into a mobile application. When you open the app, you will see the following features –

  1. Google Searchbox – This is the all too familiar search bar that you will see on the desktop browser, and even on the widget. Over the years, the search box has become the unofficial symbol of Google, and this is where you can type in your search queries related to basically any topic under the sun.
  2. Voice Search – The voice search feature allows you to perform searches on Google using voice input. Over the years, the voice search feature has evolved significantly, and today, when you search for something using voice search, the Google Assistant responds back as if in a conversation.
  3. Image search – You can search for images directly on the Google app, and see the results appear in a well organized, full-page grid.

Now, while you can actually browse the web using the Google app, you are restricted to just the Google search results. There is no provision to actually enter a website, or open multiple tabs. You can only browse and open Google search results, and that is all.
