Read news stories on Apple Watch

The News app on your Apple Watch helps keep you up to date with current events, presenting stories selected with your interests in mind.

Note: The News app is not available in all areas.

View stories in the News app

You can view news stories in several ways:

  • Open the News app on your Apple Watch.

  • Tap the News complication on a watch face.

  • Tap a news item on the Siri watch face.

  • Tap a notification from News.

Read a news story

  1. Open the News app on your Apple Watch.

  2. Scroll through the story summary by turning the Digital Crown.

  3. To read the story on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, scroll to the bottom of the story, then tap Save for Later.

  4. To open the story on your compatible device, do one of the following:

    • iPhone or iPod touch: Open the News app on an iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 13, tap Following, tap Saved Stories, then tap the story.

    • iPad: On an iPad with iPadOS 13 or iOS 12 or later, open the News app, tap Saved Stories in the sidebar, then tap the story.

    • Mac: On a Mac with macOS Mojave, open the News app, click Saved Stories in the sidebar, then click the story.

To read stories from just the channels you follow, open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap News, then turn on Restrict Stories in Today.

Note: Restricting stories significantly limits the variety of stories that appear in Today 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 won’t see Top Stories and Trending Stories.

Go to the next or previous news story

  1. Open the News app on your Apple Watch.

  2. Swipe left to read the next story, if one is available.

  3. Swipe right to see the previous story.

If you’ve scrolled to read the summary, tap Next Story at the bottom of the screen.

Open news stories on iPhone

  1. Open the News app on your Apple Watch.

  2. On your iPhone, double-click the Home button to show the App Switcher. (On iPhone X and later, swipe up from the bottom edge and pause to show the App Switcher.)

  3. Tap the button that appears at the bottom of the screen to open News.
