How to Stop Unwanted News Stories in Google Now

Google Now is the best virtual assistant for Android and iOS smartphones. It is available within your Google App, so you will not need to install it. It is the most popular free private assistant, akin to Microsoft’s Cortana. When you open the Google Now app, you see many news items related to Android, Apple iOS, Windows, etc. This is beneficial for some users because Google Now consistently displays the latest news stories related to their interests.

We don’t know how Google guesses our interests and shows relevant news. This poses a problem for us because many times we come across non-relevant news in the feed, and we can’t control it. However, Google now offers a solution that allows us to disallow these uninteresting news stories and inform Google about our preferences. If you are tired of seeing the same news stories and want to tailor your news feed, here’s how you can get rid of unrelated news stories and only see your favorite news.
