Is the Google search bar on the bottom of Androids homescreen removable at all?
I would love to get rid of it but have not found a way yet.
- SommaRaikkonen 6y agoOn my non-root phone I use Nova Launcher to get rid of the stock homescreen functions and added some gestures. See if that works for you
- bArray 6y agoI run an old version of Android, but in theory you should be able to long-press it (maybe 5 seconds) and move it to a "remove" location. Failing that, there should be a setting to remove it.
- strathmeyer 6y agoNo. And my Android has never respected my search engine choice. I don't understand why people are acting like there is something wrong with us a customers. I have a CS degree. Why can't I choose a search engine? Also the "news" that Google shows me by spying on the very few searches I have accidentally been tricked into Googling are often clickbait and factually incorrect.
- paulie_a 6y agoPersonally I love the news feature. I returned a samsung note because it lacked a decent launcher with features like that
- cesarb 6y agoOn old versions of Android, the search bar was a simple home screen widget, which you could add and remove like any other home screen widget. On newer versions of Android, however, the search bar is part of the default launcher, so the only way to remove it is to switch to another launcher.
