Google Discover displays article keywords with topic pages

[ad_1]

Following a “leaner” redesign for Android 12 that has since been rolled out to older versions of the operating system, Google Discover is testing the display of keywords related to an article.

Keywords appear between the title and the bottom row (with the publication name, publication time, and other actions). There are usually three articles per article, including on AMP / Web Stories and YouTube videos, each inserted into pill-shaped buttons. Some stories lack a topic or contain only one. It comes when Google removed the content descriptions so that you have to rely solely on the title and cover image.

Tapping opens a feed of other articles with the same keyword assigned by Google Discover. It’s a convenient way to see more stories on the same topic without having to update or do your own research.

With this addition, the overflow menu will show all those keywords so you can flag “Not Interested”. Compared to before where you would have only gotten one, this provides a lot more granularity. The improved ability to tune Discover makes this a dormant advantage of these visible topics.

This isn’t the first time keywords have appeared for Google Discover articles, but it didn’t launch widely in January. This could have been part of the initial development of today’s feature.

Meanwhile, this test is currently limited to the latest beta (12.28) of the Google app for Android which launched on Friday afternoon.
