How to remove Google discover \ google feed from home screen

The issue.⌗

Google discover is the feed curated by Google to deliver articles and videos on (mostly) android smartphones: it’s often enabled by default and put on the phone home screen. As if this wasn’t annoying enough, sometimes it cannot be disabled in the Google App settings and need to be turned off via terminal.

The solution(s).⌗

Turn off google discover in the settings.⌗

As already written here:

• In the Google App At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial
• Settings
• General
• Turn off Discover

If the option is available this should do the trick.

Turn off google discover with Adb.⌗

• Enable developer tools on your phone (and enalbe USB debugging)
• Install Adb (How? Downloading and installing Android Studio is the easiest way - however standalone adb installation are also available)
• Connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable (sure, Android 11 and higher supports deploying and debugging wirelessly but via USB is the easiest way) with the command:

adb devices

you can verify that your device is connected.

• Once you are connected use this command from the computer console to disable google discover:

adb shell pm disable-user com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

• Afterwards, you can reboot your phone with the command:

adb reboot

And you’re ✨done✨! PS: this only disables the app - it does NOT unistall it - in order to do that, the root access is more than likely needed.
