The revised choice screen, which will continue to appear during initial device setup, will enable a greater number of eligible general search services to participate in the choice screen for free. This updated Help Center article describes a revised choice screen design that was developed in consultation with the European Commission and will replace the existing auction-based choice screen.
On August 2, 2019, following the European Commission’s July 2018 Android decision, Google announced that it would implement a choice screen for general search providers on all new Android phones and tablets shipped into the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK where the Google Search app is pre-installed.
