It already features personalized content in the home feed as well as the images tab, which surfaces images based on your interests and search history. Now, the company seems to be working on a similar feature for videos.<\/p>\n<p>We were able to manually enable a new \u201cVideos\u201d tab in the latest Google app beta that sits beside the rest of the tabs in the app\u2019s navigation bar. In the screenshots below, you can see the new tab sitting beside the \u201cHome\u201d tab.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_mg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" title=\"Google app new videos tab watermarked\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-watermarked-scaled.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-watermarked-29w-64h.jpg 29w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-watermarked-1000w-2223h.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-watermarked-648w-1440h.jpg 648w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-watermarked-486w-1080h.jpg 486w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-watermarked-389w-864h.jpg 389w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-watermarked-171w-380h.jpg 171w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-watermarked-540w-1200h.jpg 540w\" alt=\"Google app new videos tab watermarked\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-watermarked-scaled.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_mg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" title=\"Google app new videos tab image 2 watermarked\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-image-2-watermarked-scaled.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-image-2-watermarked-29w-64h.jpg 29w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-image-2-watermarked-1000w-2223h.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-image-2-watermarked-648w-1440h.jpg 648w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-image-2-watermarked-486w-1080h.jpg 486w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-image-2-watermarked-389w-864h.jpg 389w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-image-2-watermarked-171w-380h.jpg 171w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-image-2-watermarked-540w-1200h.jpg 540w\" alt=\"Google app new videos tab image 2 watermarked\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Google-app-new-videos-tab-image-2-watermarked-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The feature isn\u2019t live yet, and tapping the button just loads a blank page. However, it\u2019s evident that the company is testing this addition.<\/p>\n<p>When it does go live, the feature could surface videos based on your interests and recent searches. It could show YouTube video suggestions, but it could also source videos from other platforms. The company already shows short video content from Instagram, Facebook, and other sources in Google Search.<\/p>\n<p>In Search, the video tab shows content based on your search terms. However, it\u2019s likely that the Google app will simply show videos it thinks you\u2019d like to watch. The company has no dearth of information regarding users\u2019 likes and interests, not to mention search histories, which can be used to show relevant videos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_mg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_mg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cImages\u201d tab that\u2019s already available in the app also includes a search bar.
