The Google app could soon get a lot more video-heavy
The Google app is expected to introduce a new video tab, enhancing its content offerings. This feature aims to cater to users who prefer video over text-based content. While the rollout is not yet public, it is designed to include relevant YouTube videos and potentially other sources.
- ▪The new video tab will appear alongside existing tabs like Home, Search, and Activity.
- ▪Currently, the feature is not live for the general public and is still in development.
- ▪The video tab may allow users to save content to collections and refine search results.
