Give a unique look to the Google search widget displayed on the home screen of your Android smartphone by customizing its interface.
If you have customized the interface of your Android smartphone a little, there is a good chance that the Google widget displayed by default is not connected with the interface of your device.
However, this small widget that allows you to quickly launch a query on the search engine, access Google Lens or ask a question to the Google Assistant can very easily change its appearance. Obviously very few users still know it, but Google has integrated options to customize the interface.
