The dark pattern is redirecting Google search to Apple maps.
- TX81Z 3y agoOk, I can agree there, I thought they meant the search bar suggestions which is maybe annoying but not misleading or controlling.
- Spivak 3y agoHow do I get this to happen? I turned them all on typed in an address, hit return, hit the button on Google and it opened in Google Maps. I'm on the latest version of iOS.
- acomjean 3y agoIt's the "safari suggestion" feature. As you type it does a sort of auto complete. For me it was a restuarant name, that "safari suggested" and put at the top of the browser window above the google results. I think the trick is happens before the return is clicked. I was on the go and trying to work fast. I turned it off as a user suggested.
- throwaway290 3y agoI am baffled by this thread. Never seen any such behavior. Just enabled Safari suggestions. Looking up a place on Google, clicking Maps, Google Maps opens. I am not sure whether to be against this feature because I cannot get it working... Is it an US only feature or some magic combination of other settings is required?
- jahewson 3y agoMaybe you don’t remember when Google started inserting its own maps at the top of location searches in place of the top-result: MapQuest. Probably a good 15 years ago.
- FireBeyond 3y agoHow is this even remotely relevant? Company 1 does self-centered things, so Company 2 cannot receive criticism for doing self-centered things?
