Custom News Feed

Custom news feed

Custom news feed lets you choose the stories you care about and hide the rest. It pulls headlines from trusted sites and puts them in one simple place, so you do not have to jump between many apps. You can follow topics like science, sports, or local events, and mute words you dislike. This helps you spend less time searching and more time reading. It is also useful for kids, because grown‑ups can pick friendly sources. With clear sections and easy filters, your daily reading can feel calm and fun.

How do I set up my feed?

Open the app and create your profile. Choose a few topics you love, like nature, games, or school news. Pick some trusted sources, such as major newspapers or kid‑friendly blogs. Turn on safe mode if it is offered. Set quiet hours so alerts do not beep at night. Finally, save your choices and refresh the home screen. You will now see fresh stories that match your picks. If something looks wrong, edit your topics or block a source. Small changes quickly teach the feed what you want to see.

What should I follow first?

• Start with three broad topics.
• Add one local source.
• Include a learning topic.
• Mute one noisy keyword.

How do filters help me?

Filters act like easy gates for your feed. For example, you can show only weekend stories, only videos, or only sports with your favorite team. You can also hide repeats and very old posts. When you travel, you might switch the location to see nearby news. If you use screen reading tools, you can filter for short summaries. These simple switches make the list shorter and kinder to read, so your eyes and time are not overwhelmed.

Which alerts are best for me?

Alerts should be helpful, not loud. Choose daily digests in the morning if you like a quick overview, or choose breaking alerts only for big topics like weather. Email alerts are calm but slow, while phone push alerts are fast but can distract you. Young readers may use weekly recaps with a parent. Try one style for a few days, then change it if you feel stressed. The best alert is the one you notice without losing focus.

How can families use it safely?

Families can create shared lists of safe sources and turn on content filters. Parents can lock settings with a PIN and review follows every month. Kids can star gentle topics like animals and space. Show children how to report a story that feels scary or fake. Reading together for a few minutes each day builds good habits and invites simple talks about the world.

What if I get bored later?

Boredom is a hint to refresh your mix. Add a new topic, remove one you never open, and follow one global and one local source. Switch the layout to show bigger pictures or longer summaries. Schedule a monthly clean‑up to remove stale follows. With tiny tweaks, your custom news feed stays lively, kind, and useful for every age in the home.
