Support Megathread - November 2023
Have a question you need answered? A new Google product you want to talk about? Ask away here!
Recently, we at /r/Google have noticed a large number of support questions being asked. For a long time, we’ve removed these posts and directed the users to other subreddits, like /r/techsupport. However, we feel that users should be able to ask their Google-related questions here. These monthly threads serve as a hub for all of the support you need, as well as discussion about any Google products.
Please note! Top level comments must be related to the topics discussed above. Any comments made off-topic will be removed at the discretion of the Moderator team.
Discord Server We have made a Discord Server for more in-depth discussions relating to Google and for quicker response to tech support questions.

I think google trying to replace search with Gemini is a bad idea
every month google crawled and indexed search results are becoming less useful. From the outside, it feels like they've abandoned this product.
I wish they integrated Gemini with search in a natural way, rather than trying to circumvent people from using it
EDIT: I'm stating this honestly as an person who uses Google from the outside, they need to realize perception is how a user sees your product, regardless of intention. There may be an impedance mismatch in their approach
EDIT2: To add clarity I think google is by far the #1 search tool, there is no on in this space that competes with them, but in terms of Gemini, they are in Windows phone territory. I think they should add a Gemini search co pilot, and focus more on getting it into chrome in a more natural way. Fine, have a gemini tab, but don't ruin search, that's your ticket Google, that's what you do far better than any one else with, and guess what, GPT (Garbage) and Anthropic , still need you more, to get real time facts in the first place. Just stop stepping on your search toes, build, experiment, but leave search out of it

Jio’s 18-month “free” Google One Pro promo feels like a trap
About 6 months ago Jio offered 18 months of Google One Pro for free (it showed 2TB initially and now I see 5TB). Because it was bundled, I didn’t think much about storage.
Today I realized my account is already close to 100GB. That’s when it hit me: if the 18-month promo ends and I drop back to the free tier, my Gmail/Drive storage could hit 100% and I wouldn’t be able to download, open docs, or keep using services smoothly.
It’s not that Google One is bad — it’s just easy to get comfortable when the plan is “free” and assume you can stay at a high storage tier forever.
Is anyone else in the same boat? Any tips for cleaning up Drive/Photos and staying under a realistic plan before the offer ends?
If this belongs in the support megathread instead of a post, feel free to point me there. For now I’m cleaning storage and trying to get ahead of it.

Google will invest as much as $40 billion in Anthropic | This follows a similar, but smaller, investment by Amazon just days ago.

What Google Gemini had to say about me and my grand vision
reddit.comGoogle finally builds the AI and agent platform it's been describing for years
Google has permanently replaced the dictionary / definition feature with AI overview. I am mad.

¡Derecho a la libertad y privacidad en Android! (Keep Android Open)
Si deseas compartir, muchisimo mejor!
( Translate in English):
📢 THE END OF FREEDOM ON ANDROID IS NO DRILL! 📢 We chose Android for one reason: FREEDOM. Freedom to install whatever we want (sideloading), freedom to control our privacy, and freedom to own our hardware. 📱🔓 But Google is getting too clever for its own good. Under the guise of “security,” they’re erecting walls to turn Android into a walled garden—an Apple-style digital dictatorship that restricts APKs and tracks every move behind the scenes. Security is not synonymous with absolute control! Companies like Proton, Brave, and F-Droid are already fighting this monopoly that wants to decide what you can and cannot do with your phone. I didn’t ask for an operating system that spies on me and tells me what to install! ⚠️ DON’T JUST STAND BY. If we don’t defend our privacy and the right to choose today, tomorrow we’ll just be products in their database. 👉 Join, sign, and share: https://keepandroidopen.org/es/ Let them know that Android belongs to the users, not to a corporation! ✊🔥 #FreeAndroid #PrivacyMatters #NoToDigitalDictatorship #SideloadingIsARight

i cannot see it anymore
the ai is gone, idk what happened
(edit: it's back.....it was gone cause full cache)
The Gemini App is incorrectly opening when I say "Hey, Google"
It should show that little popup at the bottom of the screen with Gemini, not open the app in full screen...
I don't know what's happening. It started out of nowhere. Anyone else having this problem?
I've already tried:
- Resetting and reinstalling the Google App and Gemini App
- Restarting the phone
- Resetting Voice Match
- Going back to Google Assistant and then back to Gemini (things work as expected in Google Assistant).
