Comments on Google for Android

★★★★☆ Kovandra Williams · Aug 14, 2026

I wish we could use our old email address even if it's been retired. I don't believe no one is using my old email address but Google will not let me change my email address back to the old one.

Feature Request: Require Google Account Password to Disable SafeSearch can easily be turned off without any verification, making it unsafe for children. User Requirement: Google must require the Google Account password whenever someone tries to turn off or modify Safe Search settings. This will ensure parents stay in control. Please implement password verification for Safe Search. Thank you, Google.

★☆☆☆☆ Ange Rusu · Aug 10, 2026

The AI overview sucks for trying to get information instead of a question. The old layout for TV shows and movies, as well as actors was wonderful, and there was no valid reason to replace it with an overview that can't provide all the information I'd ever want. Not to mention it's stupid. It doesn't actually answer most questions and I have to reword simple things when again the old systems actually functioned for convenience and if it wasn't the most used search engine, I'd use else.

★☆☆☆☆ Eric Prince · Aug 14, 2026

I do not want Google search. Eveytime I try to disable and uninstall its updates, it keeps coming back and consuming my MOBILE DATA. This app is very invasive spyware, it should not keep reinstalling itself when I remove it. It is a strategic-designed algorithm and app sponsored by the US government to be in every device. NEW: THIS IS THE LAST TIME REPEATING THIS: REMOVE THIS GOOGLE APP SEARCH FROM THIS DEVICE. THANK YOU.

Google needs to have a way for customers to talk to them. They are claiming my storage is full, I'm on porn sites and not following the rules. In not doing anything thing against rules, and i don't get on porn sites, so I can't get into my Google account or email.
