A redesign of the Collections tab in the Google Search app in 2020 added components such a Quick access carousel and Frequently visited pages, making the tab far more usable than previously. With a recent upgrade, it appears that the bookmarks tab will now take on additional significance as users will apparently be able to instantly add bookmarks to their Collections tab from their mobile browser. The feature is reportedly being tested, according to a 9to5Mac article.
The "Add to collection" option, which can be found on Android devices' top right-hand corners after accessing a search result or a link in the Google search app or the Discover tab, has long allowed users to bookmark search results or web pages they come across. The same capability is accessible on iOS, but only through the Google search app.
Whether you are using the Google search app or a mobile browser, Google will apparently soon make it easy to bookmark a website directly from the search results page. 9to5 According to Google, the button will now be placed directly next to the three-dot overflow button that is displayed next to each search result. By eliminating the need to even visit the website or search result, tapping the bookmark icon is supposed to bring up the regular menu showcasing the user's Collections and allow them to save the result to their Favorites area, create a new list, or add to existing lists.
According to reports, users who have finished saving items to Collections would still need to launch the Google app on iOS or Android to get to their saved bookmarks. If users are signed into their Google account, they can also watch the same on a desktop browser, according to the study.
According to the source, the capability is still being tested and is only accessible to specific accounts at this time. It has not yet been widely rolled out. As a result, it will take some time before everyone starts to notice this new function and can make use of the bookmark button.
