Google Expands Discover With Social Posts and a Follow‑Sources Tool

The update steers the feed toward individual interests by letting people set source preferences after viewing a preview.

Overview

  • The rollout begins for initial users, adding posts from X, Instagram and YouTube Shorts to the Discover feed.
  • People can follow publishers or individual creators directly in Discover to surface more of their content.
  • A preview of articles, videos and social posts appears before following, and a signed‑in Google account is required.
  • The follow‑sources option aligns Discover with Google Search’s existing Preferred Sources in Top Stories.
  • Google says more platforms will be integrated over time, and the announcement did not specify regional availability.
