Alphabet: Including Apple devices, overall search engine usage continues to grow.

Google parent company Alphabet clarified that they continue to see overall search query volume growth, including an increase in total search queries from Apple devices and platforms. Alphabet stated in a release that by enhancing search functionality with new features, users are finding Google search more useful for a wider range of queries and are accessing and discovering new things in new ways, whether through a browser or Google application, using voice or Google Lens. They will continue to innovate and look forward to sharing more at Google I/O. Alphabet's stock fell more than 7% on Tuesday, with reports suggesting that Apple executives stated in court testimony that search volumes on the Safari browser in April have decreased as more people use artificial intelligence.
