Is it removable? I HATE having it on screen and not being removable.

It's great if someone likes it, but I HATE it and that persistent Google Search Bar at the bottom.

It's a widget so yes. ..and the search bar is part of the launcher where you're free to use any launcher you want

It wasn't removable previously. I've had to install launchers to get rid of it.

the search bar is part of the launcher

Yes. And it's dumb. Also, if I have to install a separate launcher to customise the Homescreen for such basic shit, then it's a bad idea.

Note: this is all anger directed towards Google. Not you personally.

You're presumably talking about the Pixel Launcher widget, which isn't removable (you can disable it but you don't get the space back).

This article is about the widget that non-Pixel phones can install, which will behave more like a standard widget as it can work on any launcher or device.

How did I go through the entire article and not actually read "non-pixel" 😭?

I'm so sorry guys.
