TL;DR
  • Google is currently testing a new UI for voice search in the Google app.
  • The new interface allows users to toggle “Auto search” on or off.
  • Turning Auto search off introduces a new waveform animation.

While it may seem like Google is hyperfixated on rolling out updates for its AI features these days, it hasn’t completely forgotten about its non-AI tools. Case in point, we recently spotted that the company is working on a new interface for the standard voice search experience in the Google app. We have now discovered that this update could include a new animation.

This new animation relates to the “Auto search” toggle we found last month. As a brief recap, the new UI Google is working on introduces an Auto search toggle. Normally, voice search will process your query as soon as you stop talking, which can be a problem if you pause for a little too long. This toggle allows you to turn Auto search off, so you can finish your query, pauses and all, before the search is initiated.
