Google Discover feed begins surfacing social media accounts and posts for some

The Google Discover feed is a constantly evolving beast that offers news, updates, and now social media posts right there on your homescreen.

We’ve seen a fairly questionable full-width redesign rollout in recent weeks, but while that didn’t affect functionality, a new change could alter how we use the left-most homescreen section or the Google app on your phone. Friend of the site Michael Brown, shared images of social media accounts and posts appearing in the Google Discover feed on several of his devices. As noted, it’s not clear if this is going to be a widespread change, but adding social media handles and content to the Discover feed might be a great move by Google as often the posts you see can be filled with spam and questionable clickbait.
