Google is experimenting with a new Pinterest-inspired feature in its main app. A tab dedicated to images could soon be included in the navigation. A new way to find ideas... or to scroll endlessly.
The Google app has been greatly enriched in recent years, integrating features focused on AI and personalization. These include Gemini, which is becoming more efficient thanks to agents, and the “Circle to Search” feature, which is quietly evolving. In this context, where the company is looking to make search more visual, it seems to want to offer a new way to explore your interests directly from its main application.
According to information from Android Authority, the next big new feature of the app could take the form of a tab called “Images”, designed as a visual inspiration feed. This feature was spotted in the code of version 16.20.48 of the Google app. When activated, the user will be prompted to choose several themes from a predefined list. The system will then generate a selection of images related to these preferences.
Google will display a new “Images” feed with photos from your interests
This new tab would be added to the bottom navigation bar of the application. Once activated, it will display a welcome message encouraging people to “save ideas and find inspiration,” with the request to choose at least three themes to start with. Among the proposed categories are popular topics such as fashion, decoration, cooking, travel, and DIY.
Google would then use public images from its search engine to feed this feed, in an interface strongly reminiscent of Pinterest. Each content displayed would indicate its source, and actions would be possible such as saving, sharing, or searching via Google Lens.
Even if the function is still under development, some images of the interface have already leaked. The feed would be updated daily and centered on a “For You” page, personalized according to each person’s tastes. Users will be able to manage what they want to see and what they don't, by hiding certain irrelevant images. The app's code also hints at the possibility of saving visuals to a collection. For now, the system still seems imperfect, sometimes displaying random images. But everything indicates that Google is fine-tuning the final details before an official launch in the coming months.
