Google NewsGoogle announced on the Google News blog that the mobile version of Google News is now updated for Android and iOS devices.

The new look aims at giving users the ability to scan the news quicker and with more options.

Google added a new preferences section to control sizes of fonts, story card sizes, and if you want it to be light or dark themes.

Mobile Google News Preferences

Here is the list of updates:

  • Improved overall look-and-feel making it easier to read and track separate stories.
  • Ability to customize the webapp to suit your taste by changing the theme from light to dark, the font size and opting for a larger “story card” with more information per story at your fingertips (from the Settings menu, at top right).
  • Simplified navigation to any section within News; just click on the Google News icon (top left) to see a list of available sections (including any custom sections you created).
  • Easier integration with Google Feedback located in the menu at the top right.

Here is a picture showing the light and dark themes:
