What is Profile view?
Based on user feedback, we’ve introduced user accounts to help you find your "Recently Read" articles and to keep your SmartNews experience consistent across multiple devices.
Why are there Facebook and Google / Apple icons?
If you are using an iOS device, you can sign in using your existing Facebook or Apple accounts. If you're on Android, you'll be able to sign in using your Facebook or Google accounts.
What can I do if I sign in with an account?
Signing in with an account allows you to access a "Recently Read" list, so you'll be able to easily locate stories you saw previously. An account will also let you access your reading history, installed channels and other settings across multiple devices—say, a phone and a tablet—and easily transfer everything when you upgrade to a new device.
I forgot my password
Our current email login is password-less design, which allows you to access via code sent to your email address.
If have forgotten your password for your Facebook and Google/Apple login, please contact via their website as we do not manage those login credentials.
My login code doesn't work
Try logging out and in again, if this continues please reach out to us via the help center.
How can I change the email address used for the login?

How can I remove an article from “Recently Read” in Profile View
At this time, you can’t remove articles from “Recently Read.”
