Swiss Competition Commission Opens Probe Into Google's Android Choice Screen Removal
The Swiss Competition Commission announced a preliminary investigation into Google for removing the choice screen feature from Android devices in Switzerland.
- Comco announced the investigation on Tuesday, stating Google removed the choice screen that allowed users to select a default search engine during initial device setup.
- The commission said the removal forces Google Search as the default on Swiss Android devices without presenting alternative search engines.
- Comco noted that the choice screen remains available in the European Economic Area and its absence may hinder competition by limiting rival search engines' visibility.
