It's easy to set up a BBC account - if you've already got one, you're halfway there.

Follow the places, people and topics you are interested in and you'll get all your chosen content in one place, under MyNews.

Find your favourite things to follow:

• Through the search icon at the bottom of the app screen
• Within articles or video pages
• Key areas such as Health or Politics are on the home page of the app
• Follows can be edited in the MyNews part of the app - you'll also find suggestions there

Notifications are sent directly to your mobile to instantly inform you about a breaking news event or to flag up a top story, key video or piece of analysis.

You can get alerts for thought-provoking deep reads and analysis from BBC InDepth, and our teams around the UK can also send alerts just to people in those areas.

The alerts will pop up on your screen, like a text message, regardless of whether you have the app open at the time. If you tap the notification, the story will open in the app for you to read.

When opening the app for the first time you will be presented with a message requesting permission to send push notifications. Tap 'OK' to subscribe or 'Don't Allow' to decline.

You can unsubscribe at any time through the profile button at the top right-hand corner on the home page in the app. You might also be able to do it via your phone settings.

Get the best of the BBC's journalism direct to your inbox.

Take your pick of emails - from news and politics, to technology and royals - and you'll get unique insight and expert analysis.

There is also a dedicated section on the home page of the app, or search for Newsletters and you can sign up from there.

Some of the offering on the home page is based on the postcode in your user account.

Your postcode will also be used if you signed up for notifications. For example, if you live in Glasgow, you would get alerts sent by the news team in Scotland.

During election times, we can send notifications by constituency, which will be based on your account postcode.

If your postcode is incorrect, please change it in your account.

BBC News is, of course, on Whatsapp, Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.

Follow us for all the latest updates, interviews and videos.
