Google Phone App Drops Nearby Places Search Integration

Google has discontinued the "Nearby Places" feature in its Phone app, which allowed users to search for businesses listed in Google Maps directly from the phone search bar. The company cited low usage as the reason for the feature's removal, but it may also be due to reliability issues. The move is seen as unusual given the feature's integration with Google's AI-infused phone app, which has been a selling point for Pixel phones. The decision may also be linked to the feature diverting traffic away from Google Maps, which displays ads in search results.
