Petal Search makes it easy to find applications from third-party sources and then download and install the APK. If the application is available in the AppGallery, then the user will get a redirection to the company’s store. And if not, they will be sent to a third-party platform, such as APKPure, for download and installation. The visual search function of Petal Search allows users to take photos or use pictures to search. You can use images to search for people, animals, scenic spots, commodities, recipes, etc. At the same time, the Petal Search voice search also supports English, Spanish, French, Arabic, and other languages.
