Google Now will be available on iPhone and iPad apps from Monday. Google Now, which is seen as competition to Apple’s Siri, will be available as a new feature in the latest version of Google Search.
‘Apple`s Siri, which comes pre-loaded on iPhones and iPads, represents a growing threat to Google, the world`s No. 1 search engine. The information that Siri provides on common topics such as sports scores and nearby restaurants reduces the need to visit Google`s search engine’, say analysts.
‘Google Now as the next phase in the evolution of search, in which answers are served up without a user needing to type in a query’, says Vice President of Search and Assist for Mobile at Google Johanna Wright.
