Google is now trying to give users a lot more control over their feed by testing out a brand new heart button. Basically when you see a piece of content that you truly like, you can tap on the heart button that you might see which would signal to Google that you enjoyed the content. This can change your personal algorithm for this content, making it so that in the future your Google Discover feed would start showing you more content that falls into that specific category all in all.
This button is being tested in a limited capacity, but it’s pretty clear that it is meant to be a replacement for the more/less slider that is currently available on this app. The reason behind this is that Google is trying to simplify the experience so that instead of having to use a slider and open a menu you can just indicate your content preferences with a single tap. This has lead to a lot of people getting quite excited about the future of this service, especially because of the fact that it might just lead to major social media platforms such as Facebook facing stiff competition in this regard.
