iOS via Google Search App

Previously only available on Android devices, Google is now finally available for iOS users. As an alternative to Apple's personal assistant, Siri, Google now provides updates and detailed information custom-tailored for you. Service is included as part of the update to the Google search application.


Google now originally started as part of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean again in the summer of 2012. For obvious reasons, Apple's take on the competing service may seem a bit awkward at times. Only in the last month, and Eric Schmidt, Google claimed that the company is waiting for approval from Cupertino to bring now and iOS. Later that same day, Apple claimed never submitted.

Back and forth, however, users can check iOS from now on the iPhone and iPad after updating the Google search application. Google now uses "cards" synced with your Google Account to provide updated information including flight schedules and dinner suggestions, and sound research (obviously).
