If you don’t want to miss important stories, you can use notifications and newsletters to stay on top of the latest news. Some channels you follow may send notifications, and you can also choose to receive newsletters from Apple News editors by email.

If you subscribe to Apple News+, you can also get notified when new issues of publications you follow are available.

Here’s how to get News notifications and newsletters on iPad.

Note: Apple News and Apple News+ aren’t available in all countries or regions.

Turn on notifications

Some channels you follow may send notifications about important stories.

At the bottom of the sidebar, tap Notifications & Email below Manage.

If you don’t see the sidebar, tap the Sidebar button.
Turn on notifications for your preferred channels, as well as notifications from Apple News, such as Apple News Top Stories, Apple News Spotlight, and more.

Apple News+ subscribers can also get notifications when new issues of publications they follow are available, along with New Features & Tips notifications.

Receive Apple News newsletters

Newsletters from Apple News editors can come to your email inbox if you’d like. They feature top stories, personalized based on your interests, and if you subscribe to Apple News+, they can also include new issues of your favorite magazines.

Open the News app on your iPad.
