Whether you follow major global events or prefer localized, niche interests, you should be able to easily access the information that matters most to you. To that end, Google today launched new personalization features across Search, Discover, and Google News, giving users greater control over their content experience while helping publishers build closer, more direct connections with readers.
Google adds personalization options for Search, Discover, and News, letting you customize the content you want to receive.
Easily keep track of your favorite websites.
Google has launched a new interactive “Preferred Source” button that publishers can embed in their websites. When readers click the button, the site is added to Google’s list of preferred sources, and they can quickly return to where they last browsed. With this feature, users will find it easier to discover their favorite published content in “Top articles,” “AI Overviews,” and “AI Mode.” At the same time, publishers can engage more effectively with readers on Google’s platform. So far, over 600,000 different sources have been added to users’ preferred lists.

Build a personalized exploration feed with natural language.
In the future, adjusting Explore recommendations will become as easy as texting a friend. For example, if you want to see more eco-friendly kitchen renovation inspiration, or weekend road trip videos but exclude camping-related content, simply use the three-dot menu on feed items in the Google App to tell Google in your own language what you want to see more or less of. The system will adjust recommendations in real time and remember your preferences. With a more intuitive and immediate way to manage preferences, Explore can deliver content recommendations that better match your current interests and needs.
Customized audio news experience
For users who prefer to keep up with the news through audio, Google has further enhanced the daily audio briefing feature in the Google News app on Android. Now you can customize the briefing content based on specific topics, and clearly see the source and full-text link for each story, making it easier to dive deeper into the issues you care about. In addition, through the participation of many publishers,News AI Pilot ProgramUsers will also gain access to more in-depth analysis and background information on key news stories.
These new personalized features bring Google’s content services closer to each user’s needs. With the “Preferred sources” button, smarter discovery recommendations, and customized audio news, you’ll be able to more easily receive the information you care about most and build more direct connections with the content sources you love.
