Buggy search widget on iOS 14 (fixed)

Updated my review as this issue was fixed even before the review was moderated and published 🙂

TL;DR: voice search requires two clicks and about two seconds of load time before it registers speech. This only occurs on a fresh load (e.g., when not allowing the app to run in the background). Current Behavior: I click the microphone button on the widget. Google opens on its home screen. After about a second the "tap the mic" screen auto opens. The microphone appears to be listening for about a second but doesn't register any sound. Finally the mic button comes back at which point I can click it and speak. Expected Behavior: I click the microphone button on the widget. Google opens on the microphone screen, registers my speech and executed the search. Note: if I let Google run in the background rather than quitting the app when I'm done it works as expected. However I don't ever leave apps running. I always quit an app when I'm done using it.

Google - get rid of the blue pop up tips!!!

Have an issue and cannot find anyone at Google to help. Literally EVERY SINGLE time I am on Google on my iphone, these blue "tip" boxes pop up. They contain directions and/or explanations for VERY self explanatory buttons and things on the Google page. For example -I search something like "candy" and then on the results that come up there is an overview of the subject searched. Then there is a blue box that pops up and points to that overview button and says "tap here for summary and general info". I'm not understanding why Google has to define/explain this button every time I search something. I know what overview means. Or I look up a restaurant and a box forms over the "order here" button on the result page and says "view menu and order food." If these instructional pop ups only occurred once when I first used Google I would understand but every time I search something there are blue boxes all over the page speaking to me like I am dumb lol. Soooo unnecessary and so annoying. Trying to find a way to disable this but no one can give me any info. I've tweeted at them and they don't answer, I've called apple who says it's Google's issue but no one cares. Have stopped using Google because of how annoying it is.

Keeps deleting my tabs

I had been fine using google mobile for a long time but yesterday it changed the formatting which wasn't a big deal in itself, but then I went to my tabs to go back to the story's I had been reading and all my tabs were gone so I thought "ok, I'll make new ones I remember most of what I had been doing" and I did only to realize that it hadn't been making new tabs for each site I visited and I had to go and individually make tabs for each site, where as before it did it automatically, but I did all that and had my nice wonderful tabs with all my story's and sites I read for awhile then logged of and went to bed only to wake up and have all my tabs gone yet again, so I thought maybe there is an auto delete feature and there was so I set it to never remade all my tabs read some more logged of ate breakfast and not 30 minutes later I check goggle and all my tabs are gone again!!! I have no idea why I check all my setting and nothing should be clearing and it hadn't even been an hour, it's annoying and pointless.

Google will not stop clearing my tabs no matter what I try.
