Google tests new ‘Activity’ tab to streamline search history and manage saved items across devices
the Google app is rolling out a new feature called the “Activity” tab, designed to replace the current “Saved” tab. This addition allows users to manage their search history and access saved items from both Chrome and the Google app in one place.
Central hub for saved items and history
Currently, this feature is being tested and not all users have access to this feature. The “Activity” tab will serve as a central hub where users can view and manage their saved content, while also providing access to search history across both the Google app and the browser Chrome.
Unlike the simple web-based interface, the “Activity” tab provides a more native and integrated experience within the app. It allows users to interact with their search and browsing history, providing options to save, share, or delete individual entries. This feature is expected to streamline the process of organizing and managing search activities on Google services.

Reports indicate that the feature has been in development for about two months. The current rollout appears to be part of an initial testing phase, with a wider global rollout planned in the coming weeks. Users may not have to wait long before they can access this feature.
The new tab was discovered in Google app version 15.44.25.29.arm64 on Pixel 7 Pro running Android 15. No additional configuration is required to enable this tab. However, it is still not available to most users at this stage.

User and availability reports
The screenshot and video of the new tab were shared by a user named Andrey (through Android Authority), who was the first to notice this feature on his Pixel 7 Pro. The “Activities” tab shows up without any special configuration. As of now, this feature has not appeared on other devices, such as the Pixel 8 Pro, running the latest version of the app.
