In the “Google” section of the widgets menu, locate and long press on the “Search” widget. While still holding down, drag it towards your home screen and release it in your desired location.

Note:

Depending on your device and interface, you may be able to resize the widget by dragging its corners or edges. Experiment with different sizes to find the one that suits your preferences.

Step 5: Customize the Google Search Bar

Now that you have added the Google search bar to your home screen, you can further customize it to enhance your search experience.

  • Tap on the search bar to start a new search.
