The new “Preferred Sources” feature in Search lets you tweak what shows up in Top Stories so it is more of what you actually want to read. Love getting your tech news from PhoneArena? (Good choice.) Now you can just set us as your go-to, and you’ll see our stories pop up more often.
Google’s rolling it out now in the US and India, with more countries likely joining in soon. You can follow anything from your local newspaper to your favorite sports blog – as long as they are publishing fresh, relevant stuff, they’ll show up more in your Top Stories.
- Search for something that’s in the news.
- Tap the little icon to the right of Top Stories.
- Search and select your preferred sources.
- Refresh your results and enjoy more from the sites you like.

On paper, Preferred Sources sounds like a win – fewer spammy or low-effort sites, more of the content you actually care about, and Search results that feel way more relevant.
But here’s the thing: if you only read from your favorites, how do you know you’re getting the full story? Sure, it’s nice to stick to sources you trust, but if everyone filters out perspectives they don’t agree with, we risk living in our own little news bubbles.
