Android and iOS users will now be able to quickly access the places they have searched for on Google thanks to Google’s new “Recent” icon on their mobile search page. Any user who has Web History enabled and is logged into Google when searching for a place will have that search saved and accessible via the “Recent” icon. Searches will be saved for approximately 24-hours and will give users the convenience of starting searches from their desktop and later pulling up that information while mobile.

Although it’s easy enough to simply search for the information you want, this new feature can certainly come in handy when trying to quickly recall an address or phone number while running late. Having Web History enabled isn’t for everyone, but at least you know there’s a new feature available if you ever want to use it. For more information visit the source link below.
