Google updates its application to inform you of everything that interests you

The new Google news feed goes a step further, and the engine will improve its analysis of interests to show everything it thinks we need to know, daily , from a single screen.

It seems that the goal is to stop being a simple search engine to become a personalized news aggregator And in this sense, the new Google's app would work like Facebook or Twitter, where we also go to be informed by following the profiles of the media.

The old Google Now service disappears

What until now we knew as Google Now disappears and remains in the background. With the app update, the old info cards will move to a secondary tab called “Updates”.

The search engine's main screen will then focus on the cards with news of our favorite topics and media.

In addition, every time we search for something in the application, we can start following certain media outlets that interest us, and Google will continue to show results from those pages.

When will the Google update arrive on my mobile?

At the moment the information page about the new feed does not show a release date for all phones. The Google search app for Android has already been updated on Pixel and Nexus devices, and will likely start to arrive in the next few days or weeks to other mobiles.

Once the news feed is available on your smartphone, you can customize it to your liking. To do this, you will have to display the settings menu within the Google application and click on Your feed.

Can the new service compete with Facebook and Twitter?

If Google has proposed to compete with social networks from the feed, it is very difficult. Within the search engine application there are no options to share the content or to interact in any way with our contacts.

The only thing we can do is tell Google which topics and media interest us the most, which pages we want to follow, and which news stops interesting us. But there is no possibility to see what our friends are following.
