Google temporarily disables ‘not mobile-friendly’ label in search results due to bug

Google is fixing the issue and will restore the label after the problem is resolved.

Google has confirmed that they have temporarily disabled the ‘not mobile-friendly’ label in the mobile search results due to a bug. John Mueller of Google said that Google has turned “the label off for now” but it “should be ok soon.”

This is in response to Google mislabeling pages as not mobile-friendly over the past 24- hours in the mobile search results. Even AMP pages were labeled as not being mobile-friendly. John Mueller said that “this is a bug on our side” and Google is working on fixing it.

Here is a screen shot of Google labeling an AMP page as not mobile-friendly:

Here is a screen shot of an AT&T page being marked as not mobile friendly:

But the Google mobile friendly testing tool showed it at the same time as being mobile friendly:

So this is clearly a bug, Google said it is an issue on their end, and for now, they have turned off the label from displaying in the search results until Google fixes the issue.

Google brings back emojis in the search results snippets for relevant queries

Google has brought back displaying emojis in the search results when the query thinks it is relevant.

Google has confirmed with Search Engine Land that they have brought the ability for emojis to be displayed in the search results listing page.

In June 2015, Google removed emojis from showing up in the results after promising to disable them over webmaster abuse.

Well, I guess Google had a change of heart and wants them to show up for queries related to emojis.

A Google spokesperson told us they added it back when emojis are relevant. “We have added a feature to our snippets to feature emojis where relevant, useful and fun,” Google told us. “You’ll see them crop up across various snippets moving forward,” Google said.

So if you search in Google for emojis, Google will show emojis. For example, my query for [google display emojis] has search results that display emojis in the listings:

But if I search for [google panda], our [panda page] is listed, but even though the title tag has a panda emoji, it doesn’t show in the search results listings.
