NBC News
How do I watch the live TV stream in the NBC News app?
Just tap the 'Live' tab at the bottom of the screen, and you'll get a trustworthy feed of breaking news, weather events, or political speeches. It works like having a TV in your pocket, perfect for propping your phone up while you make breakfast.
What does the 'My News' feature do and how do I set it up?
The 'My News' section lets you pick topics you're interested in, like tech or entertainment, so the app can surface stories you might otherwise miss. You can set it up when you first install the app by selecting your preferred topics from the available list.
Why am I getting too many notifications from the NBC News app?
The app sends a lot of alerts for every update, which can feel overwhelming. To fix this, go into your phone's settings or the app's notification settings and turn off the categories you don't need, like breaking news for every minor story.
The main news feed shows the same headlines again and again. How can I fix this?
This is a known clunky issue with the app—the feed sometimes repeats headlines even after you've set your topics in 'My News.' Unfortunately, there's no direct fix in the app right now, but refreshing the feed or clearing the app cache might help reduce duplicates temporarily.
How does the NBC News app compare to the CNN app for live news?
NBC News shines with its simple, always-available live TV stream that feels like a pocket TV, perfect for quick updates. CNN's app offers more curated alerts and a cleaner main feed, but if you want immediate live coverage without fuss, NBC News is often the faster choice.
