Google Discover is a personalized content feed available on the Google app (Android/iOS) and some Android home screens (depending on the device). It was formerly known as Google Feed and provides users with articles, news, videos, and other content based on their interests, search history, and browsing behavior.
Key Features of Google Discover:
- Personalized Content – Uses AI to recommend articles, news, sports updates, entertainment, and more based on your activity.
- Topic Customization – You can tell Google to show more or less content on specific topics.
- Language & Location-Based – Content is tailored to your preferred language and region.
- Follow Topics – Users can follow interests (e.g., “Technology,” “Cooking”) to refine recommendations.
- Dark Mode & UI Options – Supports dark theme and card-based layout.
- Google Search Integration – Tapping on topics can lead to deeper search explorations.
How to Access Google Discover:
- On Android: Swipe right on the home screen (if supported by your launcher, like Google’s Pixel Launcher).
- On iOS/Android: Open the Google app and look for the Discover feed below the search bar.
- On Chrome Mobile (Android): Some versions allow Discover in the new tab page.
How to Customize Google Discover:
- Open the Google app.
- Tap your profile picture → Settings → Discover.
- Adjust preferences like:
- Hide topics you don’t like.
- Follow new interests.
- Turn off Web & App Activity (if you want less personalized results).
Privacy Considerations:
- Discover relies on data from your Google account activity (searches, YouTube history, etc.).
- You can manage or pause tracking via Google Account Settings > Data & Privacy.
