Google Search mobile website is getting even smarter on your Pixel phone with the addition of a new notifications feed. The feature is now rolling out to the mobile website on both Android and iOS, keeping you in the loop about the things you care about. Expect to see timely updates on weather, sports results, the latest stock market activity, your daily vocabulary boost, flight information, entertainment recommendations, and more.
To access it, look for the bell icon with your profile picture in the top-right corner of google.com – it’ll be right there on your homepage and search results. A red notification count means there’s fresh info waiting for you. According to 9to5Google, the feed itself is a breeze to navigate (accessible via google.com/search/notifications), with clear icons, summaries of your alerts, and a tappable link to dive deeper into Google Search results. Sorry desktop users, this one’s mobile-exclusive for now. But for some reason, the bell icon hasn’t appeared for me even though I can access my notifications directly through the link, as seen in the screenshot below.
The notifications feed has already been a hit on the iOS Google Search app, so it’s great to see Google finally making it available on the mobile website for Pixel and other Android users. It’s officially here to give your Pixel an extra dose of personalized information at your fingertips.
Meanwhile, Google is testing a feature in Search known as ‘Talk to a Live Representative’ that’s similar to ‘Hold for Me’ on Pixel phones. You can read about it here.

Expect insightful articles and explorations of the ever-evolving world of Android and Google products coupled with occasional rants on the Nest smart home ecosystem.
