Get shown news tailored to your preferences with the Google News app, now available for iPhones and iPads. The new Google News app that was first teased at the company's I/O developer conference last week has just rolled out to iOS; it's also already available for Android and the Web in 127 countries. The world wide web launched nearly 30 years ago, so the amount of content available to searchers is massive; in fact there are over 2 billion websites, not to mention social media posts and video footage. A blog post from the company describes how AI is a way for them to "find the best of human intelligence – the great reporting done by journalists around the globe"; using AI to help searchers sift through the haystack and find the right needle. The Google News app is divided into parts.

Google teased a new version of its News app with AI smarts at its I/O event last week, and today that revamped app landed for iOS and Android devices in 127 countries. The redesigned app replaces the previous Google Play Newsstand app. The idea is to make finding and consuming news easier than ever, whilst providing an experience that's customized to each reader and supportive of media publications. The AI element is designed to learn from what you read to help serve you a better selection of content over time, while the app is presented with a clear and clean layout. Opening the app brings up the tailored'For You' tab which acts as a quick briefing, serving up the top five stories "of the moment" and a tailored selection of opinion articles and longer reads below it.

Google said last week at its I/O developer conference that the revamped, artificial intelligence-powered Google News would be arriving on Apple's App Store some time in the next seven days. That time is apparently now, as the new Google News has gone live on iOS this afternoon and replaced the old Google Play Newsstand app. You can find the iOS link here. In the event you're looking for already-live Android version on the Play Store, you can find that here. The new Google News on iOS is similar to the one you'll find on Android.
