Personalizing the newsfeed

In order to fully utilize newsfeed personalization options, you must be signed in to Yahoo! with either a Yahoo! or Facebook account.

When signed in:

• Access your personalized newsfeed from any desktop, tablet computer, or mobile phone, any time.
• Stories will be generated by what we think you’ll find most interesting. The more you use Yahoo!, the smarter we become by integrating and learning your preferences through:
  
  • Your Yahoo! browsing history
  • Facebook “Likes”
  • Your input
    Note: Learn how to fine-tune your newsfeed in our help aticle about managing your content preferences.
• Use category filters to switch news topics.
• Facebook friend activity will be integrated into the newsfeed.

When not signed in:

• Your personalized newsfeed will only be available on one device as it will not be associated with the activity on your Yahoo! ID.
• Stories will be generated based on Yahoo! News algorithms and your input.
• Use category filters to switch news topics.
