Google removes ‘Your News Update’ from Assistant

American tech giant Google has removed its ‘Your News Update’ personalised audio digest feature from Assistant.

Google has removed the feature to ‘streamline’ its audio news products, a Google spokesperson said, according to an ANI report.

“We’re streamlining our audio news products to improve users’ experience. People will still be able to get audio briefings through News Briefings on Google Assistant,” the spokesperson said as quoted by the report.

The feature was originally launched in 2019. ‘Your News Update’ was an attempt at providing a personalised algorithmic feed for audio news, similar to those that had been successful on Facebook or other areas of Google’s products.

The feature was an upgrade of Assistant’s ‘play me the news’ capability with personalised audio digests.

Google had described it as “a mix of short news stories chosen at that moment based on your interests, location, user history and preferences, as well as the top news stories out there”.
