Content ripe for following will include news, sports, and entertainment articles, with relevance prioritized by the user&#8217;s search history and previous follows.<\/p>\n<p>The feed itself can be customized by tapping the three dots on top of a card, from which content can be shared, followed, or dismissed to avoid seeing the subject again.<\/p>\n<p>The feed is the company&#8217;s latest effort to encourage users to browse with the Google app instead of thinking of it as a simple search portal. Its introduction in the app is also seen as a prelude to bringing similar personalized elements to the Google homepage proper.<\/p>\n<p>The new feed should start showing up in the U.S. today and will be rolling out globally over the next few weeks.
