Alphabet (GOOG, Financial), the parent company of Google, clarified that it continues to observe growth in overall search query volumes. This includes an increase in queries from Apple (AAPL) devices and platforms. Alphabet highlighted that enhanced search features have made Google more useful for various queries. Users are accessing information in new ways, whether through browsers, Google apps, voice, or Google Lens. The company remains committed to innovation and plans to share more at Google I/O.
Despite these growth reports, Alphabet's stock recently fell over 7%, following reports of decreased search activity on Apple's Safari browser due to increased AI usage.
