Samsung may, after all, not ‘ditch’ Google Search for Microsoft’s Bing

Samsung has no plans to replace Google Search with Microsoft’s Bing as the default search engine on its smartphones, reports The Wall Street Journal.

The company had been reviewing the possibility of using Bing instead of Google Search in its pre-installed “Internet” app. However, the internal review has been suspended, and no immediate changes are expected.

If Samsung had made the switch, it would have given Bing a major boost in a search-engine market that Google dominates. Bing has recently gained ground by adopting ChatGPT features from Microsoft-backed OpenAI.
