Google News: Personalized News

6-11-25 Google News App Update took place. Today 6-12-25 "HEADLINES" has disappeared on the App. I went over my settings etc. Didn't correct the problem. Others have experienced it also as shown on GOOGLE COMMUNITY WEBSITE. What's up Google? This is an update 11:34 pm 6-12-25. Looking several minutes ago, I see "Headlines" and other options are shown across the top of the website page not at the bottom as it was previously.

There was one reason I used Google News over other news app and that was the organization of main topic. Next to “For You” was a button that had news sources neatly arranged by subtopics; Top News, World, Business, Technology, etc. You now have to go to Following and add those topics to follow similar to how Apple News does Favorites. The problem is that it is messy. There’s no real discernible order to this page. More importantly, if I wanted that type of setup I would’ve continued o use Apple News. Hopefully this change can be reverted. But hey, I might be in the minority here and forced to find a different news app to use as my go-to.

**Updating 4 days later to say that apparently there were enough complaints about the update that they gave us back some of the features everyone complained were missing. So, I’m using it again., and changes my rating from 1 star.*** I HATE this update! I can no longer use the app bc it is so awful. I used to be able to navigate to world news or business or entertainment and now I hoy have access to what google thinks I want access to. It’s simply awful. I stopped using Apple News bc of this and came to Google news and now Google news is the SAME as apple. I HATE it. Did I mention how much I hate it?

Edit: after deleting and reinstalling the app, missing features have returned. The latest version removed local news, this was one of the best features of this app over Apple News. Now they are essentially the same. 🙁 Reinstall required Edit: after deleting and reinstalling the app, missing features have returned.
