It\u2019s intended to help you discover content from around the web that pertains to your interests. Everyone\u2019s Google Discover feed is personalized to their preferences.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to visit a rotation of websites or curate your own RSS feeds. Google does the work for you, gathering stories from around the web that it thinks you\u2019ll be interested in. All you have to do is open the Google <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>, and you have a smorgasbord of content to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the app, as of this writing, Google Discover is a mobile experience only. You can use it on an iPhone, iPad, or Android phone or tablet. It\u2019s not available on the Google mobile site, either. Only the Google app available in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox\">Google Play Store<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/google\/id284815942\">Apple App Store<\/a>\u00a0has it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Google_Discover_Know_What_I_Like\"><\/span>How Does Google Discover Know What I Like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google Discover is personalized for you, but how exactly does that work? First and foremost, Google is tapping into the information you have already given it. That can include web activity, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> history, Search queries, and more.<\/p>\n<p>More important than all of that, though, is how <em>you<\/em> personalize Discover. Think of the Discover feed as an algorithm. It\u2019s only as good as the information it has, so the more you help it along, the better it gets.<\/p>\n<p>At first, you may find stuff that you don\u2019t care about. Just because you searched one time for a Detroit Pistons score doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019re a superfan who needs to know everything about the team. If you tell Google that you\u2019re not interested in that, it will get better.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Personalize_Google_Discover\"><\/span>How to Personalize Google Discover<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Personalizing Google Discover is all about taking action on content as you see it.
