Following the wide rollout of a headline-focused Google Discover redesign in May, a new tweak brings article previews to the surface.
Through the Google Discover experience – found on the leftmost page of the homescreen of many Android devices – we’re seeing a new UI that shows article previews almost in place of headlines. The updated design shows these previews directly under the image and above the headline, which itself is preceded with a dash mark.
While this looks like, at a glance, an AI summary of the article, it is the first paragraph of the post. Google pulls this paragraph and trains it off with an ellipsis (…) if the text is too long for the preview.
We’re seeing the same change apply on the Google app for iOS as well, but it may not be available to all accounts just yet.
What do you think of the change?
