Google app on iOS now faster than ever

Google’s giving its iOS users more reason to continue using its app—it’s now faster than ever, which the company says will help you save time. And while the speed difference might not be noticeable, Google says it’s there. Google promises these improvements save all iOS app users a combined 6.5 million hours this year. The Google app for iOS also now supports Accelerated Mobile Pages, which are news articles from different publications that are optimized to load instantly (think Facebook’s Instant Articles). You’d see the word AMP and a lightning bolt for articles that support this feature. You’ll see them when you’re in the Top Stories section. Aside from that, sports fans will now be able to watch highlights from your favorite teams right from Google Now cards. Just tap the sports highlight card and you’re good to go.
