The news is important; that's why we work to make it easier to access in our app.

-This latest build brings you larger, more legible text on articles and a design change to our video player that makes the mute and closed caption icons easier to tap.

-Videos from the top of our article pages will shrink down and stick to the top of the screen as you pass them so you can keep an eye on the visual part of the story while you scan the page. Prefer to focus on the text? Just swipe the video up and away to close.

-Just some backend performance work this time around to make sure your experience stays smooth.
