We've been helping users
discover relevant content from Android apps
in Google Search results for a while now. Starting today, we're bringing App Indexing to iOS apps
as well. This means users on both Android and iOS will be able to open mobile app content straight
from Google Search.
Indexed links from an initial group of apps we've been working with will begin appearing on iOS in
search results both in the
Google App and
Chrome for signed-in users globally in the coming weeks:
How to get your iOS app indexed
While App Indexing for iOS is launching with a small group of test partners initially, we're
working to make this technology available to more app developers as soon as possible. In the

Let us know
you're interested. Keep in mind that expressing interest does not automatically guarantee
getting app deep links in iOS search results.
If you happen to be attending Google I/O this week, stop by our talk titled "Get your app in the
Google index" to learn more about App Indexing. You'll also find detailed documentation on App
Indexing for iOS at g.co/AppIndexing. If
you've got more questions, drop by our
Webmaster help forum.
