ZURICH, July 14 (Reuters) - Switzerland's ⁠Competition Commission (COMCO) has launched a preliminary investigation into ⁠Google's removal of a feature that allows mobile phone ‌users to opt out of using its search engine as default, the authority said on Tuesday.

The "Choice Screen" feature allows users to choose their default search ​engines during the initial set up ⁠of their new Android ⁠device.
