One of the most noticeable changes is the new design, which is more modern and streamlined. The app now has a bottom navigation bar with four tabs: Home, Headlines, Local, and Following. The website has a similar layout, with a left-hand sidebar for navigation and a main content area..

* **Improved search:** The search bar has been redesigned to make it easier to find the news you’re looking for. You can now search by topic, keyword, or publication..
* **More local news:** Google News will now include more local news stories in its results. This is especially important for users who want to stay up-to-date on what’s happening in their community..

The new Google News app and website are available now. You can download the app from the App Store or Google Play, or you can visit the website at news.google.com..
In addition to the changes to Google News, Google Assistant is also getting a news update. The update includes a number of new features, such as:.
