How to remove the annoying Google Search bar from your Android's home screen...

That bar takes up the room that could be put to better use by displaying app icons or more of your beautiful wallpaper which many android users may find very annoying.
But the main question here is:

Why Google doesn’t want you to remove the Google Search bar?

Because Google actually wants you to use the Google Search, and it’s also because of Google Now. Google wants you to use this service as much as possible. Taking that Google Search bar and its microphone button off your home screen would likely affect that.

How to remove the Google Search bar?

The process of removing the Google Search bar is easy, but the process differs in every device. On Samsung and LG handsets, you could just remove it like you would remove any other home screen widget. On Sony Xperia and many other handsets, however, this process doesn't work.
To remove the Search bar in Sony handsets:

  • Tap and hold the Google Search bar, a new menu will appear.
  • At the top of the screen will be the Google Search bar, and on the right side it will say Hide and tap Hide.
  • Tap your home or return button. 
  • The Google Search bar should now be hidden. 


  • Another simple way to get rid of the Google Search bar is to simply install a custom launcher in your smartphone such as Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. These launchers can completely customize Android to look and work the way you want it to.


    Or you can always root your phone

    This won’t come as a surprise, if you root your phone you can easily get rid of the Google Search bar. 
    If you don’t already know about what rooting is, it’s when you grant yourself complete control over your phone at the root level. A rooted Android is almost infinitely customizable, and once you’ve rooted your device almost any custom ROM will let you uninstall the Google Search app.
