Google may soon allow users to comment on search results
August 20, 2025
Google may soon introduce public comments to its search results. The feature was discovered by9to5Googlein an APK teardown of the latest Google App, indicating the feature is coming soon. One of the first uses of the feature is likely to be commenting on live sports games.
9to5Googlemade the discovery in a section of the app called “Your Contributions.” Clicking on this section brings up two panels: one for reviews and one for comments. There, the app explains that users will be able to add comments to sports games on Google while the games are live.
According to theGoogle Search Help Page, if the feature gets a full rollout, you will be able to comment on searches you have made on Google as well as read comments left by others. Google explains that the comments you make are public and will link to your “About me” page. Google first introduced the “About me” page in 2015 so users can control what information is shown about them on Google services.
The comments feature looks similar to the reviews section that Google recently introduced to search. Here, users are able to add movie reviews directly from the movie’s Knowledge Panel section in the Google search results. Google shows audience reviews at the bottom of the panel after movie information and critical reviews.
The introduction of the feature comes soon after Googlebegan to kill offits social network Google Plus in October, following a massivedata breach. At the time, Google said it was shutting down Google Plus due to its failure to meet consumers’ expectations.
However, the new feature suggests that while Google Plus is dying, the company isn’t entirely done social features and integrations.
