How can I stop yahoo mail news notifications

A few weeks ago, I started receiving the notification "ding" on my iphone. Yet, none of the apps I had set up for notifications had any reason to alert me...no new emails, no new posts, no new twitter notifications, etc. Duh, today I looked at the "pull down" to see the notification was from yahoo and it was a news story...gah. I don't want news story notifications. I'm guessing since I want to continue receiving alert notifications regarding incoming emails, that I'm stuck with them when there's a news story. Any one know if this is true, or if there's a way to not get news story notifications?

Thanks in advance,

Cayleen

This just happened to me, too!

Here's the fix:

Open your yahoo mail app on your iphone. Go to settings, scroll down to notifications. Scroll down to the bottom and toggle off "Breaking News"

This is happening to me again, too, but only on 1 of my iPhones. They have identical settings. So frustrating! I deleted the app and reinstalled it on the one that wasn't responding to turning off the Breaking News. So far, it hasn't pushed any news notifications. It's been about 2 days. Maybe this will work for you, too?

Thanks! I found a more permanent solution that so far I'm really happy with: I uninstalled the Yahoo email app and installed Edison Mail. It is great so far, and it's handling my Gmail account just fine too. No ads either. 🙂

I have Yahoo email and I don't get News Notifications from them. Look under Notifications for settings. This article may help:

I spoke too soon. Even after toggling off "Breaking News" it continues to push news stories to my Notification Center. Time to uninstall the app I suppose. Ugh.
