View or clear your reading history in News on Mac
When you read a story in Apple News, it’s added to your reading history so you can easily find it again. You can view or clear your reading history at any time.
View your history
In the News app
on your Mac, click History near the top of the sidebar (if you don’t see the sidebar, click
in the toolbar).
On the right, scroll the list of stories you’ve read. To open a story, click its title.
The list includes stories you saved
and stories for which you asked News to suggest more stories like it
or fewer stories like it
.
Clear your history
In the News app
on your Mac, click History near the top of the sidebar (if you don’t see the sidebar, click
in the toolbar).
Click Clear in the top-right corner, then choose one of the following:
Clear History: Clears your reading history.
Clear Recommendations: Clears the information that’s used from your reading habits to recommend stories. This option can change the types of channels, topics, and stories shown in the Today and other feeds in Apple News on your Mac and your other devices.
Clear All: Clears your history and recommendations, and any downloaded magazine issues.
When you clear your history, the identifier used by Apple News to report statistics to news publishers is reset. You can reset the identifier at any time by choosing News > Clear History > Reset Identifier. To learn more about the identifier, choose Help > About Apple News & Privacy while using the News app.
