Africa Unfiltered News Reader

About Africa Unfiltered News Reader

Africa Unfiltered brings source-diverse African news into one reader you control.

Follow headlines from publishers across Africa without opening a different website or app for every source. Browse a public news preview, choose the countries, languages, categories, and publishers you want to see, search stories, and open the original reporting in the app.

ALL YOUR NEWS SOURCES IN ONE APP

If you want all news in one app without giving up control of where it comes from, Africa Unfiltered gives you a clear source-first view. Choose a focused set of publishers for one reading session, randomize your source mix when you want a broader view, or search across the stories available in the reader.

READ NEWS ACROSS AFRICA

Explore source-diverse coverage from African publishers. Narrow the reader by country, language, category, or source. Move between local and continent-wide perspectives, and open the original publisher whenever you want the complete article or the latest details.

BUILD A PERSONAL NEWS READER

Create a free Africa Unfiltered account to keep your chosen sources, bookmarks, and reader preferences in sync with unfiltered.africa and the iOS app.

• Choose categories and news sources.
• Filter available sources by country and language.
• Randomize or manually select feeds for a focused reading session.
• Search loaded stories by topic, person, place, or organization.
• Bookmark articles and return to them later.
• Share stories through Android's share sheet.
• Add compatible public RSS, XML, Atom, or JSON feeds.
• Manage your source list and default reading preferences.
• Open original publisher stories without losing your place in the app.

NEWS THAT FITS YOUR ROUTINE

Add the Latest Articles widget to your home screen for a quick view of stories from your most recently selected source mix. Pull to refresh when you want the latest available feed data. When a network request fails, the app can fall back to previously cached feeds, articles, and bookmarks so you can recover your reading context.

OPTIONAL, LOW-NOISE NOTIFICATIONS

Every news notification type is off until you choose it. You can separately enable saved-story reminders, fresh topic updates, quiet-day recommendations, a weekly source catch-up, or occasional source-diversity suggestions. Africa Unfiltered applies a shared frequency limit across content notifications and lets you change each choice in Settings.

SOURCE CONTROL, NOT A MYSTERY FEED

Africa Unfiltered is built around explicit source choices. A recommendation may help you return to a saved story or discover another relevant publisher, but it does not silently add a source to your account. Article links continue to the original publisher, and publisher content remains the publisher's own.

PRIVACY AND ACCOUNT CONTROL

Browse public preview news without creating an account. Sign in only when you want synced sources, bookmarks, and preferences. The Android app does not sell ads. Authentication uses encrypted transport, and bearer tokens are encrypted in app-private storage. You can open the privacy policy and request account deletion from Settings.

Encrypted DNS is optional and off by default. If you enable it, app-owned DNS lookups use DNS over HTTPS; it does not control publisher pages or sign-in pages opened in a browser.
