At the end of October, Google began shipping a new button with a heart in the Discover feature, which allows users to bookmark recommendations with content that they like.

This feature, which began testing in April and ise came to replace the 'plus' or 'minus' button, It consists of a heart-shaped icon that appears at the bottom of Discover recommendations, alongside the share and more buttons.

In this sense, when pressing the button, users 'like' content, allowing Google to customize the future recommendations of your application.
