The News App is one of the few stock Apple apps that I am fine with leaving on my home screen. It’s actually an app that I use on a regular basis to catch up with news and stories from tech, politics, and sports. There are tons of RSS readers and news aggregators available in the app store, but the News app definitely holds its own weight. So, if you are looking to add a few more of your favorites sites like iPhonehacks.com to the News app, we are going to show you how.
Adding a website to the News app makes it a lot easier to consume various sites and information all in one convenient place. Plus, it keeps a nice cohesive look, which I find very appealing when reading my articles alongside my bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. In order to add a new site to the News app there are just a few quick steps you’ll need to follow.
Step 1: Enter a Site in Safari
Let’s open up the Safari app and head over to a site that you would like to add to News. For our example, we will be adding iPhonehacks.com.
Step 2: Share and Add to News
Once you are on the site of your choosing, click on the Share button to bring up the Share Sheet. From here, scroll over until you see the option, Add to News. Tap on this.
Step 3: Confirm and Check out your new feed!
When you tap on “Add to New,” you’ll be asked once again, to actually add it to the News app. Once you do that, you can head into the News app and find your newly added RSS feed in the Favorites section.
This is a nice simple way to turn your News app into a personal RSS reader, and add some more variety than the offerings made within the app. Of course, since a lot of websites and feeds are not going to be fully compatible with the News app you’re going to run into a lot more of this:
This just mean that you’ll need to click on the link and head over to iPhonehacks.com (still within the News app) to read the entire article. But things could be worse. And if you are an Android owner, make sure to add our sister site, AndroidBeat to Apple News for the best Android coverage.
