NEW DELHI: Google has rolled out its Google Assistant for iOS in Europe. The app has been made available by the technology giant in UK, Germany and France. Prior to this, Google Assistant was made available in the United States after being introduced by the technology company at Google I/O this year.



However, it is being reported that Google Assistant for iOS is limited as compared to the app's Android version. It is being said that this change is because of Apple's API restrictions.

Nevertheless, Apple device owners will be able to add the Google Assistant widget on their home screens if they wish to.



Earlier this month, Google was in news when its experimental new Search app was spotted.









According to the screenshots of the app shared by Android Police, the technology giant is testing its Search Lite in Indonesia. The app will be making it faster to search content even on slow networks. The app is also said to come with some offline features. What remains to be seen is if the app weighs less or not. However, based on the nature of the app, it in all likeliness should weigh less and take less RAM to operate.






Inside the app, users can switch through languages by swiping the main app's page sideways. The screenshots show Hindi as one of the languages, strongly indicating its arrival in India. There are certain shortcuts to features like news, translation, weather, cricket scores, recipes, movies, songs, among others. Users have the option to customise them.






Furthermore, Google Search Lite is being said to support voice and text-based search as well. What's interesting is that the search bar is placed at the bottom of the screen instead of on the top, making it easier to access.
