Remove Google Discover Feed from Home Screen - 1

We have listed two different methods that will help you get this job done- via the in-app settings menu and using ADB commands. In the first method, while the news content will be removed but the space will still be occupied by the Google Feed, with just a black screen and a notification that Discover has been turned off. On the other hand, if you opt for the ADB Commands, then it will completely remove the Feed from your home screen. So try out the method that is in sync with your requirement.

Method 1: Via Google App

  2. Then go to General and disable the toggle next to Discover.
  3. It will remove the Google Discover Feed from your home screen.

Method 2: Via ADB Commands
