Google removes most 3D animals and other models from Search

Google has suddenly reduced the range of its 3D animals and other models that were previously available in Search. This feature, first introduced in 2019, allowed users to view various objects in a three-dimensional format through augmented reality.

Here's What We Know

As the option evolved, the range of models expanded, but according to recent reports, Google has removed most of these models. Currently, only a few animals are available to view in 3D, along with some objects and educational models.

In particular, this became possible thanks to augmented reality (AR), which allowed viewing these objects in a real environment through mobile devices.

A common reason for this decision is likely to be the constant changes in Search. However, this decision leaves many users disappointed, as these models were useful as educational toys and entertainment, and also became popular during the quarantine period during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Google has not yet made an official comment on the decision, but users have been leaving comments on social media and forums expressing their disappointment at the removal of these popular features.
