Testing a fresh "ascend-to-top" option in Google Discover
In the latest beta version of Google (v16.28.59.sa.arm64), a new feature has been added to the Discover feed - a jump-to-top button. This button, similar to those found in other applications, offers a faster method for users to return to the top of the Discover feed after extended scrolling.
The button becomes visible only when a user initiates an upward scroll. It does not obstruct content for users scrolling downwards, ensuring a seamless user experience. Interestingly, the button appears when Discover is accessed via the launcher, specifically when swiping right from the home screen launcher, but not when opened directly through the Google application.
Android Authority has reported on this new feature, shedding light on its implementation within the Discover feed within the Google app beta. However, the article does not provide information about which users have access to the new button or any potential timeline for its broad rollout.
The implementation of this new feature follows recent tests by Google involving bookmarks and AI summaries within the Discover feed. Yet, it's important to note that the jump-to-top button's feature is not directly related to these tests.

As for the consistency of the jump-to-top button's appearance across devices running the current beta, it suggests a broad rollout of the feature. However, the article does not mention any specific devices or platforms on which the jump-to-top button is available.
The impact of this new feature on user engagement or behaviour within the Discover feed is not yet known. Google has not provided any insights on this matter. The article also does not mention any potential impact of the jump-to-top button on the source, Android Authority.
In conclusion, Google has introduced a new jump-to-top button in its Discover feed beta, offering users a faster way to navigate the feed. While we wait for more information about its broad rollout, users can enjoy this new feature when accessing Discover via the launcher.
