Google stops operating the Page Annotations in iOS app

The Page Annotations was launched by Google in November last year, but was filmed because it could redirect traffic from sites. This feature automatically converted the text to the site into clickable links that redirect visitors to Google search results.

Unlike such features in Google ecosystem, Page Annotations used the Opt-Out model, that is, websites did not need to be agreed. If the site owner did not want Google to insert a link to his content, he had to send a form for refusal and the changes would take effect within 30 days.

Google deleted all the mention of Page Annotations from the official documentation for "Control what you divide with Google". The updated text describes different ways for site owners to control the appearance of their content in the search results, but does not mention the current function.

• 📌 Page Annotations was launched last November.
• 📌 The feature automatically converted the text to the site into a reference to Google Search.
• 📌 Google deleted all the references of the official documentation feature.
