Google announced that their new Android search app lets you do searches even when you are offline or have a bad internet connection. What happens is, you search, Google tells you the internet is not working and will try later. When the internet comes back, it will send you a notification that your search results are now ready and you can click on the notification to get the results.

Supposedly it doesn’t use up more data or battery – so it is a smooth solution.

Here is a GIF of it in action:

Another reason native apps have a purpose.
