Get started with News on iPad
The News app 
collects all the stories you want to read, from your favorite sources, about the topics that interest you most. To personalize News, you can choose from a selection of publications (called channels) and topics such as Entertainment, Food, and Science.
The more you read, the better News understands your interests. Siri learns what’s important to you and suggests stories you might like. You can also receive notifications about important stories from channels you follow.
You can also subscribe to Apple News+, which includes hundreds of magazines, popular newspapers, and premium digital publishers.
The News app and Apple News+ aren’t available in all countries, regions, or languages.
Note: You need a Wi-Fi or cellular connection to use News.
Personalize your news
When you follow a channel or topic, related stories appear more often in the Today feed, and the channel or topic appears below Following in the sidebar.
Open News for the first time, then, in the sidebar, tap
for channels or topics you want to follow.If there are channels or topics that you don’t want to appear in your feed, tap
to block them or to stop News from suggesting them.When you block a channel or topic, its stories won’t appear in the Today feed or the News widget, and it will appear among your blocked channels and topics when you tap Blocked Channels & Topics in the sidebar.
Tap Discover Channels & Topics at the bottom of the sidebar, then tap
for each channel you want to follow.
To stop following a channel or topic, swipe it to the left, then tap Unfollow.
To easily follow specific channels and topics, tap the search field at the top of the sidebar, enter the channel or topic’s name, then tap in the results below.
Get notifications
Some channels you follow may send notifications about important stories.
At the bottom of the sidebar, tap Notifications & Email (iPadOS 13.6) or Notifications (earlier versions) below the Manage heading.
Turn on notifications for your preferred channels.
If you subscribe to Apple News+, you can get notifications when new issues are available.
Receive Apple News newsletters
You can choose to receive newsletters in your email inbox from Apple News editors highlighting top stories. With iPadOS 13.6 or later, newsletters may be personalized based on your interests.
Swipe to the bottom of the sidebar, then tap Notifications & Email (iPadOS 13.6) or Notifications (earlier versions).
Swipe to the bottom of the window, then turn on Apple News Newsletter.
To stop receiving newsletters, return to the Notifications & Email window, then turn off Apple News Newsletter.
Note: Personalized newsletters aren’t available in all countries or regions.
See stories only from the channels you follow
Go to Settings 
, tap News, turn on Restrict Stories in Today, then confirm your choice.
Note: Restricting stories significantly limits the variety of stories that appear in the Today feed and all other feeds. For example, if you restrict stories and follow only one entertainment-related channel, your Entertainment topic feed will contain stories only from that channel. When you restrict stories, you don’t see Top Stories and Trending Stories.
