Google is currently testing the Discover feed on its desktop Search platform, signaling an upcoming feature that was confirmed during an event this week. Discover, which is already available on Android and iOS devices, is designed to provide users with a personalized feed of news articles and content tailored to their interests.
For those who frequently use Android devices, accessing Google Discover is straightforward; it can be done by swiping right on the home screen. The feed showcases a variety of topics based on user preferences, ranging from gaming news to updates on movies and technology.
This constant availability makes Discover a convenient resource for staying informed about subjects one enjoys. Despite its popularity on mobile, Google Discover has been notably absent from desktop Search, but that is set to change soon.
While Google has not provided a specific timeline for when Discover will be fully available to all users on desktop, reports indicate that some individuals have already gained access. Users who qualify may see a prompt on the bottom right corner of the Google Search homepage that indicates “a new way to explore your interests.” This rollout is described as an experiment, indicating that Google is in the early stages of public testing.
Interestingly, Google has been working on this desktop version of Discover for several years. While the exact timeline of its development is unclear, it’s evident that the feature has undergone thorough testing.
As Discover is linked to user Google accounts, the feed will remain consistent across devices, provided users are logged into the same account. However, the criteria for determining who gets early access to the feature remain uncertain.
