Google is making a move with its personalized feed: from now on, Discover will start showing posts from X and Instagram alongside news and editorial content. Short YouTube videos (Shorts) will also be integrated into the same section.
In addition, the service enables a feature that lets you follow creators and media outlets you're interested in directly from Discover . This option is available when you're signed in to your Google account and helps tailor the content you see.
What's changing in the Discover feed
Discover will combine articles, social media posts , and videos in one place , making it easier to find relevant content without leaving your feed. The idea is to expand discovery beyond traditional news outlets.
- X and Instagram posts will appear next to the news in your feed.
- The YouTube Shorts with direct visualization.
- Un mix of sources designed to discover new content and voices.
How to follow creators and media from Discover
From the Discover section itself, you can follow media outlets and creators of interest to refine your content selection. This personalization works when you're signed in with your Google account and allows the feed to more accurately reflect your preferences.
The goal is that, without leaving Discover, you can manage which sources interest you and keep a more direct track of them, simply and without intermediate steps.
Availability and upcoming integrations
The new content mix will be available in the coming weeks . However, starting this Wednesday, you can already personalize Discover by following media outlets and creators directly from this page, as long as you're logged in.
Google has also announced on its official blog that it will add more platforms in the future, expanding the range of sources that can display their content in Discover to enrich what you see every day.
Context: Recent changes in the Search Engine
As background, in August Google updated its Search engine to allow users to set preferred news sources , giving their articles a better chance of appearing among the top news stories. This strengthens user control over which media outlets and creators are most visible to them.
With these new features, Discover opens up to posts from X and Instagram, as well as YouTube Shorts, adds the ability to follow sources directly from the feed , and plans more integrations in the near future. All of this is being rolled out gradually and requires users to be logged in to take advantage of the personalization.
