Google has announced a huge update to its popular Discover feed, allowing readers to customize their experience far more than before.
The Discover feed, which is primarily available on smartphones, combines user interests from searches with a social-style feed of articles that Google things will be of interest.
Google has added a new ‘Follow’ button in Discover, enabling users to have more control over how they manage their experience.
Google says this has happened because it’s had feedback from users that they’d like to see more creator content in their feeds, showing the search giant still sees this as an important product.
The main thing here is that it brings a new level of customization to your feed – I’ve been long frustrated at only being able to downvote things, rather than being able to add the things I care about.
Firstly, add Digital Trends as a preferred source in Google – when you see us in Discover, tap ‘Follow’ to make us a preferred source
