Tab Searches on Mobile
Hi Alyxe
She is running build 21.0.390118302 on Android. I don't have any screen caps, but this is an example of what she would do.
Restaurants: BTW, the new Bing app took away the Restaurants button. Why?? She would hit that button. Bing showed restaurants around her. She'd click on one to look at which would open a new tab with that restaurant. Leaving that open, she'd go back to the main page and click on another which would open a new tab. Rinse, repeat. She might open 6 or 7 restaurant tabs and then flip back and forth to make a dining decision.
She would do something similar for shopping online. Find sites that offer the product she was looking for. Then, she'd flip between the tabs to find the deal she wanted with the shipping she wanted, etc.
Tabs are gone, so she can't do that any more. The Restaurant button is gone, so she can't do that any more. Hence, her comment, "It pretty much makes using Bing on my phone not worth it."
I appreciate you looking into this and look forward to learning what you find out.
MicrosoftHeyU-notU-U thanks for that description! Just to clarify, can you still use this feature on the Bing App on your own device?

Yes, I can use BOTH features on my device which I have not updated to the latest Bing App.
Search Tabs and the Restaurants button.
Thanks!

HeyU-notU-U, Ah! Ok, can you grab screenshots of this from your device and provide me with the version number of the app your running?
Thank you,

Community Manager - Bing InsidersI am on build 11.7.28247601, OPALAND.
I am unable to get screen captures. Bing appears to be blocking them. I get an error saying, "Unable to capture screenshot. Prevented by security policy". I am able to capture screenshots of other apps as well as the "desktop". Why does Bing block screenshots?
Thanks...
