Google News with AI now available on Android and iOS

The new app is powered by Google's AI and ML algorithms and replaces the Google Play Newsstand app.

There is a favourites section where the user’s starred topics and publications will show up for quick access. Users can subscribe to publications from the Newsstand section and the sources they have subscribed to will show up under the favourites section. One can also save stories to read them later and customise their feed similar to how one can manage Now Cards in Google Now. Finally, the Newsstand section allows a user to browse through featured and popular news publications and subscribe to them. Tapping on an individual media publication displays a new page that neatly organizes the source’s stories. Additionally, all publications showed in Newsstand section support the Google AMP standard, meaning that the web pages will load quickly in-app.
