iOS

December 16, 2025, 6:58 AM EST. Google has quietly updated its Search homepage by adding a 'plus' menu on the desktop web. The magnifying glass at the far left is replaced by a plus icon that opens Upload image and Upload file options, echoing the AI Mode experience. The change emphasizes that Google can be used for tasks beyond simple searching and works with AI Mode and AI Overviews. The feature is live across devices and even appears in signed-out Incognito sessions, though it's currently desktop-only (not on mobile). Separately, the Google app on iOS has swapped the Labs beaker icon for a button opening AI Mode history, with related tweaks to the AI Mode home page.
