Phone is set up to swipe right to go into the google app where I used to get a news feed that was pretty well tailored to me however recently its stopped working.

It still shows football scores at the top of teams herr google has decided I should see but theres no news displayed at all.

I've tried clearing the cache on the google app (and also all of the other google apps in case) and also gone as far as clearing all the stored data but nothing is seeming to get it back. I very occasionally get a discover type notification for a story (an awful lot less than before) and that works but still nothing displayed on the app.


However if I click on my profile pic at the top right and select "use without account" it works again, however not at all tailored.


I can't see an option for cache clearing or a setting in my account that would cause this and no changed have been made, to my knowledge, in my google account forever so I'm totally perplexed.


Does anyone have any ideas please/?
 
Sorry I can't help. But I've had my phone for about 3 years now and Google Discover has never worked, not once. No matter what I try or what settings I use it just doesn't appear when you swipe right.
 
I've had this issue before and which was fixed when I started using Nova Launcher and installed the GoogleCompanion.apk to enable the discover feed in their launcher, never had an issue since.
Nova is really easy to setup like a Pixel if 3rd launchers are your thing.
