I turned off Google Feed after I setup my phone last winter.

It suddenly woke up again this afternoon. You’ll see “current temperature” in your notification shade. Press it and you get the entire Google feed. Weather report, news headlines, a couple pages of crap.

Very annoying because it’s not a window that can be closed. It was totally covering my home screen.

I went into settings and turned it off again.

I wonder for how long!

Here’s an article on Google feed.

I keep it turned off.
