Note: You must be signed into your Samsung Account.

With News Briefing, you can choose topics of your interest. That way, you can see the latest headlines at a glance and catch up on the kind of news you want to read. If the app isn't already installed, you'll need to install it using the Galaxy Store app.

From the Watch screen, press the Home key, and then navigate to and select News Briefing. If you’re opening the News Briefing app for the first time, review the legal notice and if you agree, tap AGREE. Next, tap START to proceed. Select or deselect topics, and then tap OK.
