Apple News Free Articles?

So Apple News says you can read some news for free, and some, or other news is a subscription, I get that.


My question is, if we decided to use just the free news can we set it to only show the free articles?


iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi gregraygun_apple_place,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're interested in customizing what you see in Apple News. There are some customization options. This article explains more about this: Get started with News on iPhone.

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 in the Following tab.

  1. In News, tap Following, then tap the Follow button next to the channels and topics you want to follow.

To make a channel or topic a favorite, tap Edit, then tap star next to the channel or topic. It will appear in a group near the top of the Today feed.

If there’s a channel or topic that you don’t want to appear in your feed, touch and hold it, then choose Block Channel, Block Topic, or Stop Suggesting.

When you block a channel or topic, its stories don’t appear in the Today feed and widgets. To see the channels and topics you’ve blocked, tap Following > Blocked Channels & Topics.

Note: When you browse Top Stories and other areas that feature stories curated by Apple News editors, placeholders may appear for stories from channels you blocked. See Follow, unfollow, block, and unblock channels and topics.

2. Tap Discover Channels at the bottom of the screen, then tap plus 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 Search, enter the channel or topic’s name in the search field, then tap plus in the results below.


See stories only from the channels you follow

Go to Settings > 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.

Take care.
