The company also added support for their feature called 'Voyager' to the iOS app, which they hope you'll use for travel inspiration. Those same updates can now be seen on iOS.

However, it was unclear until now whether the app would continue to function on iOS 11, as Google hadn't made any public announcements on adding 64-bit support on mobile (though its web and Android apps were updated in April). The standalone Google Earth app held the prestige of being one of the App Store's most downloaded 32-bit apps, according to 9to5 Mac. And in June of this year, before the WWDC keynote, Apple stopped showing 32-bit only apps in search completely. There had been hints for a long time that Apple was going to make this move way back in 2014, we reported that the company wanted developers to include 64-bit support in their apps.

Today, the tech giant finally released a new version of Google Earth that has 64-bit support. It's understandable that smaller developers might make it just under the wire, but it's a little surprising that a company with the resources of Google would wait until the last minute. This has left developers scrambling to make sure their apps will be able to launch on the software update arriving in September. One of iOS 11's big changes (and there are many) is that it will no longer support 32-bit-only apps.
