Google is introducing a new feature called In Apps¹, which will allow you to quickly search and find content from your installed apps. To access this feature, just head to the Google app on your Android phone and tap on the In Apps tab.

Here are a few examples of what you can do with the new In Apps feature:

• Find your contacts and messages. Easily find the friend you want to catch up with, or the name of the new sushi place that your friend told you about last month — just search for [sushi] and find the message.
• Listen to your favorite running song or watch that sneezing panda video for the 15th time — all in one place.
• Stay organized with your tasks and notes. Want to check off items on your grocery list? No problem, just search for [groceries].

Google says the feature currently works in apps like Gmail, Spotify and YouTube. However, they'll be adding support for more apps like Facebook Messenger, LinkedIn, Evernote, Glide, Todoist and Google Keep in the coming months.

Furthermore, with the LG V20, you'll also get a shortcut to In Apps on your homescreen as well as the ability to search through LG's pre-installed apps.
