Google has issued a correction from a previous statement in early February. Web Stories are still showing up in Google Image search results. Google in reality stopped showing the Web Stories icon in the image search results. Google posted a correction stating: "Web Stories continue to appear in Google Images, just as other web content may appear, but Web Stories no longer appear with the Web Stories icon in Google Images.”

While this issue was happening, Google also was experiencing a bug in their search console that did not show any clicks or impressions for Web Stories within Google Image Search. This was an issue with Google was not reflecting a change in actual clicks or impressions, but rather an issue with the data logging. This can help explain why for several weeks, users though Google no longer was showing Web Stories within Google Image Search Results.
