Google brings AI-powered 'Google News' to iOS

IANS  |  San Francisco 

Keeping up with the promise made at its I/O Developer Conference last week, has now officially rolled out its "News" for iOS, the media reported.

The new (AI)-powered app is designed with to make news finding, analysing and fact-checking, crisp and to-the-point, Engadget reported on Wednesday.

"News" comes with three options, "For You, "Full Coverage" and "Newsstand," to help users find news of relevance based on their reading habits, let them have an in-depth read of a topic and give access to users to subscribe to a publication and view its content.

Additionally, the app comes with a "favorites section" for users to star topics across entertainment, news and academia and save stories for pocket-style reading later.

The newly launched "Google News" has replaced the previous "Google Play Newsstand" launched on in 2014 as a news and magazine subscription hub.
