Google is giving you more control over what shows up in your feed

Google's done guessing. You finally get to teach it what you like.

Google is giving you more control over what shows up in your feed

Google is giving users more control over the content they see in their feeds across Search, Discover, and Google News. This new feature allows users to specify topics and links they want to see more of in their Google app. By tapping the three-dot menu, users can describe the content they are interested in, such as kitchen hacks or travel.

This approach enables users to actively shape their personalized experience, instead of relying solely on Google's recommendation algorithms. Similarly, Google News on Android will now allow users to customize daily audio briefings according to their interests, further enhancing the personalization process. Additionally, a new Preferred Source button has been introduced, enabling users to prioritize their favorite publications.

This feature will help ensure that coverage from these publications appears across Top Stories, AI Overviews, and AI Mode. Although Google is adept at predicting users' interests, this new feature empowers users with a degree of customization that may not have been possible before.
