What is BBC News ?

The BBC News app brings you the latest, breaking news from our trusted global network of journalists.

 

Personalise your news offering with My News

Add topics wherever you see the + icon for a quick route straight to the stories you care about.

Stories from topics you add will appear in your personalised My News feed. Here you can order stories by topic or time to stay on top of the news of the day. Topics can be added, removed or re-ordered using the Edit function.

 

Find content fast

The app can suggest topics based on stories you’ve recently viewed and what’s in the news now.

And you can quickly find topics that interest you using the Search tab. Choose from the familiar list of BBC News indexes such as Business, Technology, Entertainment and Health, or search for your own subjects of interest, whether they’re people, places, things or themes.
