Google Speeds Up Android App Installs By Allowing Them from Search Results

Google has made it possible to install apps onto Android phones directly from Google Search results. The new tool bypasses the Play Store entirely, though a link to the Play Store is still available for those seeking more details about the app. Free apps can be installed from Search results with a single tap. The feature is being rolled out to users over time, but Phone Scoop was able to confirm that it does in fact work. The idea is to cut down the number of steps required to install apps, which is better for app developers and consumers alike.
