For better navigation, Google has also added interactive filter chips to the new Home tab. These chips allow users to switch between For You, Headlines and other familiar categories such as World, Business and Technology. Meanwhile, the “Follow” and “Kiosk” tabs remain unchanged.

Currently, the redesigned UI is not yet available in the latest stable version of the Google News app. However, with the redesign appearing to be almost complete, a wider rollout could be imminent.

Google News is one of the most popular apps for bringing together the world’s most important news in one place. While you can still get the latest news through the Google app, Google News offers a more focused experience for Android users who prefer a dedicated platform to stay informed.

I think it’s a smart move to make the interface of such a widely used app more user-friendly and efficient. For me, the fewer tabs and buttons the better – simplification can only make the experience smoother.
