Q: Getting rid of "Entertainment" & similar sections in iOS News app

Is there ANY way of getting rid of entire sections?  I have no need for "Entertainment" but find myself forced to wade through that sewage to get to music production stories that I actually care about.

iPad 2, iOS 10

    Hi there, kelverde!


    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! After reading your post, I understand you are looking for ways to customize the News app. I know how convenient it is to have the stories most important to you readily accessible, and would be happy to help!


    To get started, I would recommend checking out the following article.

    Use News on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    I would suggest looking specifically at the "Customize For You" section, which helps you add topics and channels that interest you in a one-stop shop. Information and instructions are as follows:
     

    Customize For You

    Add the topics and channels that interest you from the Explore section to your Favorites. This helps News decide what type of stories to show you in For You.

    To see a list of the channels and topics that you follow, tap Favorites.  If you subscribe to a channel, there’s a separate section in Favorites for your subscriptions. You can also sort Favorites by name, recently visited, or most visited. Just tap Favorites at the top of the screen, then choose how you want them sorted.

    Add a topic or channel

    1. Tap Explore at the bottom of the screen.
    2. Browse categories, channels, and topics that you're interested in.
    3. When you find a channel or topic that you want to add, tap  .

    Looking for a specific topic or channel? Tap the Search tab and enter what you're looking for. You can also add a topic or channel you search to your Favorites. Just tap   next to the search result. 

     



    Enjoy!
