Android to store Google searches offline, deliver when online

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.
