During the quarter, revenues from the Google segment increased 20% year-over-year to $40.3 billion. Advertising revenues grew 17% to $33.9 billion. Other revenues, which include revenues from cloud and Play Store, jumped 39% to $6.4 billion. Revenues from the Other Bets division, which includes Waymo and Verily, grew 6% to $155 million.
