Apple News is a powerful platform to use if you want to consume news from different industries. It's an all-around news aggregator that allows you to personalize your feed based on your interest.

While it's not designed to craft a story or an article, it does suggest specific news that might interest you.

If you want to customize Apple News to see your desired type of content, here's what you need to know.

How to Tell Apple News What Stories Should it Suggest to You

Apple News is extremely useful if you're in a hurry of searching for up-to-date news from several sources. From reputable publications such as The Washington Post and Reuters, you can see a lot of stories from local to international.

To achieve a well-rounded experience with Apple News, you need to customize your feed depending on the things you're interested in or topics you want to see more often.

Once you open the news, you will notice a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" icon at the top of the story. If by any chance you click this, it will open more suggestions to your plate. This way, you can now select "Suggest More" or "Suggest Less." This will merely depend on your taste.

You don't have to consume an article or open it if you want to leave a rating. You can actually rate news by simply clicking the ellipses icon. You should see it from the drop-down menu with either "Suggest More" or "Suggest Less" options.

If you want to see more tech news, then you can follow publications and story makers centered on technology. By doing so, the next suggestions will be about tech.

In situations where you find a story bland, or if an article annoys you because of fake information, you can block the news channel.
