Google app won’t let me edit a search on my iPhone 15
Asked by

Has anyone else noticed that the Google app no longer lets you edit an existing search on an iPhone 15? Previously, I could tap a recent or suggested search, place the cursor in the search box, and fine-tune the wording. Now tapping the search text starts a completely new search instead. The same software works normally on an iPhone 12 Pro Max, so I'm wondering whether this is a device-specific bug or a recent app update issue.

This appears to be a bug introduced in one of the recent Google app updates. Several iPhone models are affected, including the 14 and 15 series, and the latest update apparently hasn’t fixed it yet.

There’s a temporary workaround: start typing the beginning of the previous search until it appears again, then tap the arrow on the right side of the suggestion. That should bring the text back so you can edit it. It’s clunky, but it works for now. Using Chrome also seems to avoid the problem.
