Google continues to evolve with the tech giant introducing new features to boost the online presence of publishers and content creators. You will now see a new “follow” feature that lets you subscribe to your favourite publishers. According to Google, users will notice more social posts from Instagram, X, and YouTube Shorts in Discover.
Once users follow their favourite publications, they may see more content from those brands in your Discover feed. Google said, “You’ll be able to personalise Discover with more content from your favourite publishers and creators.”
Google wrote: “You’ll start to see more types of content in Discover from publishers and creators across the web, such as posts from X and Instagram and YouTube Shorts, with more platforms to come. In our research, people told us they enjoyed seeing a mix of content in Discover, including videos and social posts, in addition to articles.”
When users tap on follow, they get a preview of the publisher or creator’s content, “including articles, YouTube videos and posts from social channels,” so they can decide whether to follow. To follow a publisher, one must be signed in to their Google account.
