add your favorite sources to your Discover page; Google is also introducing fresh methods to discover various types of content you enjoy, even from multiple platforms.
A recent post on the Google blog indicates that Google is beginning to implement a feature that will allow content from X, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and more to appear in Discover. This means you’ll soon encounter more than just news and articles.
However, the blog post doesn’t clarify whether Google will provide users any control over the new content types they see from creators on their pages. Personally, I prefer not to see posts from X and other social media platforms in Discover, so I hope we can disable them or filter them out if we want to focus on websites.

Another enhancement Google is making to Discover in the Google app is the option to follow specific creators and publishers. This is akin to the earlier feature allowing you to add preferred sources. Nonetheless, this update will enable you to view a tailored list of curated content exclusively from the sites and creators you opt to follow.
These updates aim to transform Discover into “a more useful starting point for exploring the content you love,” as Google mentions in its blog post. Furthermore, the company states it will keep searching for new ways to enhance Discover in the future. Users should start seeing the ability to follow publishers and creators in their Google app starting today.
