How do I turn off Sports and Entertainment in News?

I have all the news categories that I am interested in selected. Sports and Entertainment are not selected at all, but they continue to show up in my feed. How can I turn these off so that I don't see them any more?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10

Hi chrisfrom86,

I see that although Sports and Entertainment are not selected, you are still seeing articles from these categories in your feed. If you have this preference set up in the "For you" section of your News app, you can try muting the channels and topics that you do not want in your feed.

Dislike, mute, or report a story

Don't want to see certain types of stories in your For You feed? You can mark stories that you dislike, mute channels that they appear in, and report stories. Swipe right over the story or tap , then tap your choice:
Tap Dislike to stop seeing similar stories in your For You feed.
Tap Mute Channel to prevent a channel’s stories from appearing in For You.
Tap Report to report a concern with a story.
Your For You feed may not refresh immediately when you dislike a story or mute a channel.

Use News on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

The steps above should prevent those unwanted news topics from going to your feed. Thanks for using Apple Support Communities to post your question.

Have a great day.
