Google problem

[abe-ariel]

My wife’s 6-year-old iPad runs on OS 9.3.5 (13G36
Gmail is the email vehicle, Safari the browser and Google the search engine.
Recently it developed a strange problem.
Whenever the lady receives any URL by email, she clicks on it with her finger but the relevant webpage never never open. Instead of that, a Google page opens with the message:
UPDATE TO USE DISCOVER
blah.… blah
---> UPDATE ON APP STORE
REPRESH

We could not find an App named DISCOVER in the App Store.

Same page always opens when she hits the Google icon on the iPad’s screen.

Moreover, whenever an attempt is made to select an alternative search engine (Yahoo, Bing) by ticking it in SETTINGS, the stubborn iPad still leads us to Google

Please help and restore peace and harmony at my home.
Many thanks.

Problem solved by deleting the GMAIL App and replacing it with a fresh one from the App Store.
