WHY IT MATTERS
This update aims to provide users with more control over their Discover feed, potentially leading to a more personalized and engaging experience.
What happened
Google is introducing a new feature to its Discover feed, allowing users to customize their content by describing their preferences. The feature, set to roll out in the coming days, utilizes AI to automatically adjust the feed based on user input.
Users can access this option within the three-dot menu on their Discover feed and interact with a chatbot-style interface to specify their preferences.
The chatbot will confirm and outline the types of content it will prioritize, with the option to add more information if needed.
