Google Testing Filters On Latest Posts Carousel
Briefly

Google is currently experimenting with filters for its latest posts carousel, aiming to categorize posts by platform, such as video content or posts from Instagram, YouTube, X, or Facebook. Initially spotted by Brodie Clark, this feature introduces a 'recent' feed as the default view, allowing users to more easily navigate the types of content they are interested in. The testing phase aims to assess user interaction with these filters, potentially improving how searchers engage with social media posts through Google's search results.
