Google's Discover feature now includes a Follow button and broadens its content sources
Google's personalized news feed, Google Discover, introduced in 2018, is set to undergo an exciting expansion. The tech giant has announced that Discover will soon allow users to personalize their content feed by following specific publishers and content creators.
The new 'follow' feature is currently rolling out across multiple phones, but the exact details about the rollout and which Android phones will have Discover built into their home screens are yet to be specified. Google has not yet confirmed which devices will be included in this update.
With the 'follow' feature, users can now tap on a publication or creator's name on Google Discover to preview the content typically shared before deciding to follow the outlet. This feature will open a new page showcasing the content from the chosen publisher or creator.
The expansion of Google Discover's content sources will widen the net of content shown in the feed. Soon, users can expect to see web articles, YouTube videos, and social media posts from platforms such as X and Instagram within their Discover feed. However, the exact timeline for the rollout of these new features remains unclear.
It's important to note that the 'follow' feature does not specify which social media platforms will be included in the content mix. Also, the article does not provide information about how users can add a website as a preferred Google source for the 'follow' feature.
Google Discover aims to provide a more diversified mix of content to roll out over the coming weeks. With the new 'follow' feature, users can tailor their news feed to their interests, making Discover an even more personalized and engaging experience.
Stay tuned for more updates as Google continues to enhance its services to better serve its users.
