Further, access will be provided through the Google app on Android and iOS over the coming weeks.

Besides this, you can ask follow-up questions directly from the search results page.
Further exploring a topic, you can see your prior questions and search results, including search ads, in dedicated ad slots throughout the page.

Simply tapping on any of these words will let the user indicate the specific meaning you had in mind.
When it comes to this AI-powered translation capability, it is first launching in the US for English to Spanish translations, and more countries and languages will be supported in the future.
In addition to this, on relevant searches regarding coding and health, certain words will be highlighted and when you hover over them you’ll see a preview of their definition or related images.
