GOOGLE is getting a huge change on your iPhone and Android – and it might already be live on your phone.
From now on, when you search for things, you’ll be able to keep scrolling.

Currently Google search results are split into pages – meaning you have to click through to see lots of different websites.
But a huge update to Google on mobile means you’ll now be able to “infinitely” scroll.
Google says “most English searches” will be affected by the change.
“Today, we’re making browsing search results more seamless and intuitive with the introduction of continuous scrolling on mobile devices,” Google’s Niru Anand explained.
“Now, when you reach the bottom of a search results page on your phone, the next set of results will automatically load with relevant information,” the product manager added.
The update is only rolling out in the US for now, but will eventually make its way across the globe – including to the UK.

So look out for these changes in the coming weeks and months.
If you’re in the US and you’re not seeing the new version of Google, don’t panic.
It often takes a while for big software changes to take effect for everyone.
Google says that its new feature will be better for people with “a little extra curiosity”.
“While you can often find what you’re looking for in the first few results, sometimes you want to keep looking,” Anand said.
“For example, for broader, more open-ended questions like ‘What can I do with pumpkins?’, you may want to consider more results and inspiration before deciding how to move forward.”
According to Google, people who want more info typically browse up to four pages of search results.
