      • Clicking on "Configure My Headlines"

      • The first screen is categories. You can favorite categories by clicking them.

      • Then, click on the "Next" button to see recommended sources. Here, you can favorite sources of them by clicking them.

        • You can change your location on this screen.

      • Finally, to finish click on the "Done" button to save your preferences

  • Auto Full-screen

    • Auto full-screen is a feature that automatically enlarges videos or images to fit your device's screen. By default, the auto full-screen time is set to 20 seconds. This means that after 20 seconds of playing a video or viewing an image, it will automatically enlarge to fit your screen. This is a good balance for most users, but if you find it too short or too long, you can easily change it.

      To change the auto full-screen time, follow these steps, choose "Auto Full-screen" in settings and choose the duration that best meets your needs.

      Now, when you play a video or view an image, it will follow the new auto full-screen time that you have set.

      Some users may prefer to turn off the auto full-screen feature completely. This can be helpful if you are watching a video or viewing an image that you do not want to be enlarged. It can also save battery life on your device.

      If you have turned off auto full-screen, you can still manually enlarge the video or image by using the pinch-to-zoom gesture on your device's screen.
