Not counting gmail, calendar, or the docs/drive suite, Google has >12 applications on the app store. Apple's "search" is pretty crappy WRT seeing what a dev has released (or at least the Google LLC "dev"), hence the range.
And ads definitely show up in YouTube and such.

- falcolas 5y agoI did (on my phone, fwiw), and it only showed 12, and not their big ones.
- reaperducer 5y agoPerhaps because on your phone it shows only phone apps?
- falcolas 5y agoWell, it didn't show Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets, or Docs. All of which are Google apps available on the phone.
- treis 5y agoI didn't say they had no apps. I said they don't really have apps and they don't. Their main product is search and it's accessed through the browser. If what FB is saying is true then the move by Apple helps Google. There's more or less two options for online advertising. So if companies spend less on FB then they're probably going to spend those dollars with Google
- falcolas 5y agoI give you Google, the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google/id284815942 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google/id284815942 Google search, in an iOS app. Not everyone uses it, sure, but has over 341k reviews. Facebook, as a point of comparison, only has about 4x more reviews at 1.2M. 4x is a lot, but it's also a lot less than I'd expect over something primarily used in the browser.
