Google app is now home to your Pinterest-like personalized image feed
Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google has started rolling out a new 'Images' tab in the latest beta version of the Google app. The Images tab lets users select interest categories, such as fashion or home decor, to build a tailored visual feed using publicly available search images, similar to platforms like Pinterest. The feature is currently limited to beta users for testing and feedback, with potential for wider rollout soon. We've previously spotted Google working on a Pinterest-like feed within the Google app that would show people images, seemingly inspiring them on topics like fashion, interior design, and more. The feature was a work-in-progress at the time, and we had to jump through hoops to give you the first look. Google is now closer to releasing the feature to the masses, as the Google app's Images tab has started rolling out to users. With Google app v16.23.71 beta, we can spot the new Images tab rolling out widely. When you launch the new Images tab in the Google app for the first time, you'll be asked to select at least three topics, like Fashion, Home Decor, Travel, etc. Selecting your interests will create your personalized image feed with publicly available images from Google Search. If you like an image, you long-press on it to share it, save it to your collection, or search it with Google Lens. You can also hide images from your feed. This feature is currently rolling out to beta users. Based on their feedback, Google will make tweaks and fix any bugs before deciding whether to release it to the public. Given the state of finish, we're optimistic about the feature rolling out to users in the stable branch soon. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

TL;DR Google is developing a Pinterest clone within the Google app, which will soon include a new 'Images' tab. Users will be able to select their topics of interest, and Google will then populate the new tab with relevant, inspirational images curated from Search. Users will be able to share the images, save them to a collection, search them with Google Lens, or hide them from their feeds. Ahead of Google I/O, The Information reported that Google planned to announce a Pinterest-like feature to show people images and help them curate ideas for topics like fashion or interior design. However, at the time, we didn't know what this feature would look like, where it would appear, or how it would work. After conducting an extensive APK teardown of the latest version of the Google app, version we were able to uncover Google's upcoming Pinterest clone, which didn't make it to I/O. The feature is very much a work in progress, but the images and videos we'll provide here should give you a good sense of what it'll do and how. Authority Insights story on Android Authority.

An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. Google's take on Pinterest, a platform that allows users to pin images to a digital pinboard, will appear in the Google app as a new 'Images' tab. As you can see in the screenshots of the feature below (and the video above), the images in this tab will refresh daily. What do you think of Google's Pinterest clone? 0 votes I like it and think it'll be useful. NaN % It's just another feed to doomscroll and adds clutter. NaN % When you first launch the new 'Images' tab in the Google app, you'll be asked to select at least three topics, like 'Women's fashion,' 'Food & Drink,' and 'Home Decor,' to create your personalized image feed. Google will then use publicly available images from Search to fill this tab. You can long-press an image to share it, save it to your collection, search it with Google Lens, or hide it from your feed if you don't think it belongs there. As we said before, this feature is very much a work in progress right now. In our testing, instead of showing images from the selected topics, it's currently displaying random images from various topics. We're guessing Google will iron out these kinks before the feature is ready for prime time. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
