Is Airplane Mode On?





Airplane mode disables all wireless and cellular signals from your iPad or iPhone. To make sure your iPad or iPhone isn't in AirPlane mode:



Open the Control Center, and make sure the Airplane Mode button is gray, not orange. You can also turn Airplane mode on, leave it a few seconds, then turn it off again and see if your Google search is working.








Check Your Wi-Fi & Cellular Data Connection





You need a Wi-Fi or cellular connection to do a Google search on your iPhone. So, make sure your internet connection is working by using a different app or feature to see if they're still able to connect and work as usual. You can also check your connection using iPhone icons.



Look at the top-right corner of your screen. The icon to the far right shows your battery percentage; to the left of that is your Wi-Fi connection, and to the left of the Wi-Fi icon is your cellular connection. The more white bars in your cellular and Wi-Fi icons, the stronger your iPhone's connection. 








Clear the Google App Cache

Note: This will clear out any usernames and passwords not saved to your iCloud Keychain. So, make sure you have that info written down or in your iCloud Keychain before clearing your Google cache.




* Open the Google or Google Chrome app and tap the More icon.








* Tap Clear Browsing Data.








* Tap Clear Browsing Data to confirm.











Uninstall & Reinstall Google Chrome





If you've tried all the previous steps and Google doesn't show results still, it's time to uninstall the Google or Google Chrome app, then reinstall the app.
