The Google app is one of the most-used apps on Android devices. It is one of the core parts of the Google apps package and comes pre-installed on the majority of Android devices.
It allows users to perform searches on the internet, use voice commands, search using Google Lens, and features the Discover feed as well.
But lately, users have been reporting a number of issues affecting the app such as the one where users are unable to turn off trending searches on the home page and the app breaking dark mode for some Pixel owners.
And now, Google app users are saying that they are unable to ‘Open web pages in the app’. People say that the issue persists even if they install and set up Chrome.
For some, the toggle is greyed out while others say that even though it’s enabled, the function is not working as intended.
Many say that the first thing they tried doing was resetting the Google app and Chrome, but these solutions do not help fix the issue.
It is really frustrating for those who use the Google app to read news amongst other things as it helps them go back to the app easily since the links open in the app itself.
Thankfully, a Google Community Gold Product Expert commented on the matter and said that they shared the issue with the Google Search Community team.
But with Google yet to acknowledge the issue or say anything about it, it still remains unknown how long Google app users will have to wait before they are able to open web pages in the app.
Wait! I got it! I found out how to fix the problem! Go to your settings, then go to chrome, then tap on the the dots (the more options button), then click on “uninstall updates”, then try again.
