Google has announced plans to introduce its personalized Discover feed to the Google.com homepage on desktop. This news was revealed at the Search Central Live event in Madrid, and some users in the United States who have enabled web and app activity tracking are already seeing prompts for the new feature. While specific timelines for the full rollout remain unclear, users can expect to see a notification at the bottom right of Google.com that reads, “A new way to explore your interests.” An official blog post from Google is anticipated to provide further details regarding availability and any requirements for accessing the feature.
The Discover feed has become a popular tool for mobile users, offering quick access to personalized articles and important news. On Android devices, users can easily find the feed by swiping to the ‘minus one’ screen, while those on iOS can access it directly through the Google app. Now, it appears that Google is ready to expand this functionality to desktop users. Reports indicate that Google has been testing a redesign for Discover on Android and is moving forward with its plans for the desktop version.
Some users have already reported having access to the feed, prompting others to check for the bottom-right notification indicating it’s available. If you see the prompt, this means the Discover feed has likely been enabled for you as part of an experimental rollout. Currently, it seems that the feature may be limited to U.S. users who have their search history and web and app activity settings turned on. However, users outside the U.S. should remain hopeful, as these features often expand rapidly.
It’s advisable to await the official Google blog post for confirmed details on availability.
