How to Add Favorites From the Website

As you use Google News, the “For you” section learns what you like automatically. But if it’s not showing stories you’re interested in, you can personalize the feed yourself by adding additional news sources manually. After creating favorites, you’ll start to see more news based around your interests and can even browse only those stories if you so choose.

Add Favorites From the Mobile App

Setting up favorites in the Google News mobile app involves an extra step. In the Google News app, follow these steps:

Don’t Have the App? Get It Now

You can read Google News without the app but you can’t really save and manage your news very well without it. The app is free.

How to Browse Recent News

When you add a favorite, all those stories will be mixed in with other topics you’re following. But if you want to see just the most recent news from that item, you need to select it from your library.

How to Get Google News Through Your RSS Reader

Google News is great, but if you’re not a huge fan of the website or app but you still want to read news catalogued by Google, you do have another option: make an RSS feed. Doing this lets you receive news through an RSS reader. If you already get other news this way, then it’s a no-brainer to convert Google News stories to an RSS feed. You can read all about how to do this in our RSS guide.
