    Just noticed on my iPhone 16 pro running iOS 26.3.1 that when I use Google app and I choose ‘SHOPPING’ from the menu tab, I get the following error message when either using Wifi or Data.

    1. That’s an error.

    If I use Safari on my iPhone and go to Google.com or Google.co.uk, all works well for the Shopping menu selection, if I use my laptop with Google > Shopping, this also works which seems to remove IP address being blocked etc.

    Google app is upto date and not sure when this problem started as I do not often use the Google Shopping options but I can remember updating the Google App recently.

    Just cleared Cookies and App history and restarted the iPhone and still Google Shopping is giving me the 403 error message.

    Time to delete Google App and reinstall

     

    Update: iOS Google App was deleted, iPhone was rebooted and Google app was re-installed and still the 403 error message appears.

    Just wondering aloud — I’m not signed into the Google app on my iPhone, so I’m wondering if this is a new requirement ?

     

    Update: I signed into Google app begrudgingly and now iOS Google App ‘Shopping’ tab works as expected.

    Not sure if this is an   or    .
