trade in all your iphones/droids for a windows phone.

i have an iphone given to me from work, i ignore it, so it does not bother me as much.

Siri isn't too bright. Don't expect too much. My wife has an iPhone which I almost never use (mine is Android). I asked Siri, "How do I turn this thing off?"

Siri replied, "That's an interesting question."

Settings/Notifications/News > off

[glock rocks]

I lied... you are on the search screen. I’ll figure it out. I want it off too.

When I slide for the search bar there is nothing beneath the most clicked apps. No list of news. Try to delete the generic news app, maybe that would help. I don’t remember what I ever did but I see nothing where you see the news stories for WaPo and NYT.

[glock rocks]

Okay I have it:

Settings/General/Spotlight Search/News -> off

I got a new Android last week (my 5yr old android finally died) and it took over an hour getting rid of all those news feeds and apps - disabled a bunch of apps I couldn’t delete.
Why can’t people uninstall the NFL app???

Smart phones are like pay cable tv; lots of crap you don’t want loaded on these things.

The good part is you get to pay for it.

[faithhopecharity]

apple (or rather their slave laborers in communist china) make a nice little phone
but politically apple management seems very much communistic themselves

surprisingly

anyway, try going to settings and turning news feeds off there, best....

[glock rocks]

Alright this works:

Settings/General/Spotlight Search/News -> off
Settings/General/Spotlight Search/Spotlight Suggestions -> off

Fer shur.

SM -- Can you help out here?

I strongly suspect that it's not Apple, but some (default?) app that is pushing this news.

But, since I dumped all cellphones when I retired, (hence, have no iPhone) -- I can't take it farther than that...

For the News App to even display these headline selections in your notifications, you had to have selected the Washington Post and New York Times feeds at some point in the News App. It was not Apple who made these choices for you. Other, perhaps better choices, could have been Fox News, BBC News, Buzz Feed, Donald Trump, TechCrunch, The Verge, The New York Post, Reuters, CNBC, National Review Online, or many others.

I chose not to get any. I prefer to get my news from FreeRepublic when I browse at my convenience, not when it comes in willy-nilly. Since I did not select any, my Notification area for News is blank.

Our fellow Freepers VinceASA and Gaffer have noticed that their iPhones are receiving Notifications News feeds that have a distinctive objectionable Liberal slant lately from the Washington Post and the New York Times but they had never selected any News Subscriptions from those sources in the News App to even get their feeds. I am not getting these feeds or any others as I have not selected any news feeds at all although all my settings are turned on to allow News feeds to go to my Notifications were I subscribed to any. Are any other members of the Apple Ping List noticing a similar influx of objectionable Liberal articles on their Notifications? If so, did you subscribe to The New York Times or Washington Post News feeds? — PING!

Ever since the last update my 6 has to be restarted about every five minutes. I’ll look down and it will be typing ran done letters of jibberish!

[Ozarkamouse]

If you want to get real frustrated try searching iPhone liberal media.... Good luck. It’s all a puff piece for how great iPhone is. I hate this country now
