One of the best features in Google’s stock launchers is quick access to the Google Feed. This started with the Google Now Launcher and continued on in Pixel Launcher—but you can easily add it to Nova Launcher, too.
The Google Feed, which started its life as Google Now many moons ago, is a quick way to access stories that Google thinks will appeal to you. You can customize its content to remain relevant to your interests, and let Google do the rest. Once you’ve taken the time to really set it up, it’s an excellent way to get news you care about quickly.
