Navigating the tabs on Particle

Updated today

“For You” Tab

This is where the top news, personalized to your interests, shows up. Particle ranks all the available stories in the last day or so, and uses various signals including topics, recency, trending velocity, and more to show you what’s most relevant. Topics you have indicated you want to see less will be ranked lower or excluded.

“Explore” Tab

The Explore tab shows popular stories (as determined by views on Particle), the most written about stories, trending topics, and more. Think of Explore as a broader look at what is popular news today, while For You is tailored more to your specific interests.

“Search” Tab

The Search tab allows you to search Particle for any topic, person, place, or thing in the news, and even publishers and journalists. You can also browse through various topics by tapping on the tiles.

"Puzzle" Tab

The Puzzle tab includes Particle's new daily crossword puzzle. The puzzles are based on recent news stories. They're AI-generated and human-edited. In just a couple of minutes, players can enjoy a game and learn something new from the stories.

"History" Tab

The History tab shows you all of your app history. It includes all of the stories you've read, digests, questions you've asked, and notifications for topics you're following.
