The Google app was recently updated with a Laboratory section. Every new and experimental feature that Google is testing can be found there. To try them out, just flip the switch next to this feature. Initially, it had two features: “Pinch to zoom in on search results” and “Editing, sharing and actions of screenshots”. And now it has been updated with a third: Google Search Widget Doodles. Let’s see how to enable / disable this feature and what this feature actually does. On this note, also see the screenshot editor built into Google App.

Google Search Widget Doodles

Google regularly updates its home page with special doodles to celebrate any special or festive occasion. And now you can also feel the same in the search bar of the Google app. When you unlock your device, you will see a short animated doodle on the G logo in the search bar. Previously, these doodles had only made their way to the handful of users. But these lucky people had no say in disabling this feature. Now with the latest Google App update, you can easily disable or enable the Google Search widget doodle as needed. So here is how you can try this feature.

Availability

To start, the Labs section is only available in the beta version of the application 10.92.8 or later. But even if you download this version, you may not be able to try this feature. Indeed, it is deployed as an update on the server side. Although the update has been online for the past two months in the beta version, many beta users have not yet received this feature. However, if you have the Labs section, here’s how to try:
