Apple makes it easy to filter content so you only see the stories and videos from the Apple News channels you follow on the app’s Today page. Here’s how to it on both macOS and iOS.

Most of us can’t visit every news site each day. Because of this, aggregators like Apple News have grown in popularity over the years. With these services, you can get immediate access to countless stories from across the internet. Despite this, there are times when less is more. During those moments, instead of wanting to see news from unlimited sources, you might want to stick with your favorites.
