Even YouTube and Gmail?

I don’t care for YouTube. Even if there is an article here with a video in it, I’d rather read the article and get what I need vs opening a YouTube link.

I use Outlook for anything of importance (banking, finances, family and friends). I have an old Gmail I use for junk and spam only. Gmail can have all the old FB, IG, Twit and Reddit accounts I had and no longer use and/or deleted.

And I use DuckDuckGo for browsing. I’ll take an extra minute any day to search for something on DDG that Google would usually find immediately, just for the peace of mind of not having Googles prying eyes on me.

I use DDG as a default but sometimes it totally misses the mark. I change to Google, use the same search, and boom, right on the money. Happened recently on an image search.

DDG is fine the vast majority of the time, but occasionally I need Google.

Bro. lol. Hope you are not depressed. I used to be like you but I think I become too paranoid, so I stop doing that.
 
It's so nice to have google voice search on the Lock Screen but Apple really needs too allow us to program side button for Google Assistant, Siri just flat out sucks.

I hope you aren't using iCloud for anything, if you are I've got some bad news for you...
 
About time! It's obvious why iOS isn't a priority but they had all summer to get these ready.
 
With AOD on and the phone locked, the Google widgets are just a big grey block. If I "wake up" the phone, then the widget displays data, but, since the point of these widgets is to view them while locked, this seems useless.

Am I missing anything? Is there a reason that widgets are showing grey? I've seen this in videos, so I think it is wide spread, but I'm not sure if I have some setting on or off. Thanks.
 
Anyone know how to get it to show directions to other locations? I can only choose from home and work on my “frequent trips” list
