Google is adding a new way to manage recommendations in Discover. Now, users can verbally explain what they want to see in their feed. The system will remember your preferences and use them in the future.
Google announced this on its blog.
The new feature should start rolling out to the Google app in the coming days. The company hasn't yet announced which countries or languages it will be available in. The new option will be found in the three-dot menu next to content in Discover.
There, the user can describe in their own words which topics or links they want to see more or less of. For example, the feed could be asked to show ideas for kitchen renovations or videos about weekend road trips, but no camping.
You can also customize audio digests from the Google News app. Users will be able to choose the specific topics they want to hear in the release. Google will clearly indicate which media the information is taken from and add links to the full versions of the materials.
Previously, dev.ua wrote that YouTube is testing a similar feature. In Your Custom Feed, users will be able to describe in text what videos they want to see, after which the service will rebuild recommendations according to the request.
