Android is the most widely used mobile operating system until now, being present in almost all manufacturers, except Huawei and Apple phones. It has been occupying a large percentage, so much so that it is the predominant software on the market, all after seeing the good performance of version 12.

An error that has gone down in history
Many have worried about this error, over time the solution it came from Google, who had to correct it with an update included in a patch for Android. It was due to a bug that showed this notice on our screen and that gave three possible options, including closing the application.
The solution was not to touch any of the three, rather to stop the application, making this message not appear again throughout our session. If you forced stop over time it would reappear, so you would have to disable it if you wanted it to disappear completely.
This alert, the “Google is still not working” alert It was initially shown on Google devices, on Pixels, specifically on the Pixel 2 XL model. Over time, it appeared in other models outside of Google terminals, so it was not an isolated error and it did reach another ten phone models.

At the moment this has a solution, stop the process and on the other hand, disabling it is the most drastic, although it must be said that you surely want to use this application for some reason. The Google app is usually used to go to the search engine quickly and search for something specific on the network of networks.
Despite appearing on Pixel smartphones, over time it has been seen on other terminals, so if it appears at any time, it is appropriate that you look for a solution. It is not worth that you close the application, if you do so it will reappear as it is simply a restart of the utility.
