Nope Arun your wrong.
Try with a new install .
I’m trying on a replacement phone.
Those Google search trending are remarkably persistent.
I’ve tried everything I know and it just remains.
It’s not my phone, otherwise it would be de-googled they are such an arrogant horrible lot.
I’ve tried through chrome and Google Account.
It’s horrible you can’t even get to Google through apps, it sends you to Google go.
