Massive iPhone and Android Google update will change how users search on their phone

Everybody in the UK using an iPhone or Android device will be seeing a major change to how Google works as part of an upcoming update.

The search engine giant is introducing a new feature on mobile phones intended to make searching online as "seamless" as possible.

As part of the redesign, mobile users will now be able to endlessly scroll through search results, rather than having to go through separate pages.

New results will automatically load when a user reaches the bottom of the search page, and will continue to do so until they find what they are looking for.

As reported by the Daily Record, the massive update is being rolled out in the United States, but is reportedly coming to UK devices over the next few weeks.

Google product manager Niru Anand told The Sun: "Today, we're making browsing search results more seamless and intuitive with the introduction of continuous scrolling on mobile devices.

"Now, when you reach the bottom of a search results page on your phone, the next set of results will automatically load with relevant information."

Google isn't the only tech company to be introducing major changes to mobile devices.

WhatsApp is preparing to roll out three big updates to its messaging service - including a new feature that lets you 'hide' yourself.

The popular messaging app, which is available on iPhone and Android phones, is constantly being updated to make the user experience better.

WhatsApp's latest rumoured changes are likely to land this year and include an update to the 'last seen' icon.
