Google Discover Redesign Rolling Out On Android 12, Removes Descriptions And Card Layout

Starting on Android 12, Google is rolling out the next big redesign of Discover. This visual revamp of the feed was first introduced on iOS and is now coming to Android.

Stories in the Discover feed are no longer placed in individual cards, also articles no longer feature the first sentence. Without descriptions, all you get now is the cover image, headline, and publication name/logo. This provides much less context before opening an article.

Other changes see YouTube videos better distinguish the Creator, while content from the same site is displayed as a list underneath the main entry.
