Google app gets a new ‘Share’ button for search results

The Google app on Android is getting a new ‘Share’ button that lets users quickly share links that appear in search results without having to open them. This means users no longer have to open the link and copy the URL to share it with others.

First spotted by Android Police founder Artem Russakovskii on X (formerly Twitter),  the new ‘Share’ button appears above the ‘About this result’ section and can be accessed by tapping on the three-dot button that appears to the right of the search result.

Clicking on it will open the familiar Android system share sheet where you can choose to copy the link, share it with someone or send it to an app. Previously, users had to tap on the link and wait for the page to load before they were able to copy the link. Unlike web browsers, the Google app does not allow users to long tap on a link to get its URL.
