Following Google's steps? Google gives profile picture, Settings, General, then Discover. Our Google app's Settings had no General row, so searching was the quickest way. Source: Turn off Discover
Searching phone Settings for "Discover"? Ours said No results for Discover: the switch is only in the Google app.
Want the feed back? The Home tab says: Turn Discover back on to see your feed. You can always turn it off in Settings. Tap Turn on Discover.

If this does not work

Seeing Discover on google.com in Chrome? That is a separate switch. Google says: profile picture, More settings, Other settings, turn off Show Discover on home page; it is not in all countries or languages. Source: Turn off Discover
Only want fewer personal stories? Google says to turn off personal results instead of Discover. Source: Turn off Discover

About this guide

Discover is the news feed in the Google app. The switch is in the Google app's own settings, not in the phone's Settings.

The screenshots are from our Google Pixel 10a with Android 17, in Dark mode, taken on 25 October 2026. We switched Discover off for the screenshots, then on again.
