Android to
store Google searches offline, deliver when online
Google has announced an update to its
search app for Android, designed to make spotty connections easier to deal
with.
Whether
on a rural road, in a train tunnel or a lift, we've all tried to perform a
Google search in an area with patchy mobile signal. Until now, the only course
of action had been to wait for your phone's signal bars to fill up before
performing the search again.
However,
the latest version of the Google app on Android of the Google app on Android
saves your search queries whenever you have no signal, automatically delivering
your results as soon as it detects a connection again. “And if you're worried
about data charges or preserving battery life, don't fret,“ wrote Google
product manager Shekhar Sharad in a blog post announcing the new feature. “This
feature won't drain your battery, and by fetching streamlined search results
pages, it minimally impacts data usage.“
Any
pending searches sit in the `Manage Searches' section of the app's hamburger
menu, and you can clear them as you see fit.
