The company has made changes to its curation lists over the years and for the first time Google has offered you an easier way to see news and updates from the sources that you prefer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Preferred Sources, as Google calls it, is available in the US and India allowing you to stay up-to-date with the favourite blogs and news sites that you regularly follow or even subscribe to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This is a new form of personalisation which ensures that you don\u2019t see content from other sources that can be irrelevant also.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Google Preferred Sources For News: How To Use The Feature<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Using the new preferred sources option in Google for news and updates is quite easy and you just have to enable the tool, select the source websites and apply the changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Open Google website or search for any topic in the news <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Click on the icon next to the Top Stories tab<\/li>\n<li>Google will ask you to search for your preferred sources and select them in the drop-down menu<\/li>\n<li>Click on Refresh to see the new preferred sources reflect on the screen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Google says, \u201cOnce you select your sources, they will appear more frequently in Top Stories or in a dedicated \u201cFrom your sources&#8221; section on the search results page.&#8221; Just because you have curated the news sources does not mean you will stop seeing content from other sites. But you can manage these selections from the settings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Google has not put a limit on the number of preferred sources you can add, and this was picked up from its learnings with the early set of Labs users that people really valued. The company is also giving publishers the access to connect with more users and make them choose their preferred sources, which in turn affects their visibility and readership for the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">In addition to this, Google\u2019s Gemini AI recently got two new updates that have been shared with the users. You get the new temporary chats in Gemini which works like Chrome incognito mode and does not store the chats or use it for training the AI models. You also get better ways to control how Gemini uses files like photos, videos and more. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-719085042 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:28px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news18.co\/gnps-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google, Get latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements.
