# News Feed ### Overview The newsfeed in the mobile app provides an easy way to keep track of updates from people, groups, projects, and departments that you follow. It ensures users stay updated on important information without the fear of missing anything crucial, even away from the desktop.

The mobile app newsfeed functions similarly to the desktop version, allowing users to scroll through updates. Items users haven't yet clicked on are marked with a "New" status for easy identification. *** ### 3-Dot Action Menu Options The three-dot menu offers several ways to customize your newsfeed and manage the updates you see: * **Show Unread Only**: Filters your newsfeed to display only items flagged as "New." To switch back to seeing all updates, simply click the three-dot menu again and select "Show All." * **Mark This Page as Read**: Marks everything on the current page as "Read." If you have the feed set to show only unread items, the page will appear empty after this action. * **Mark Everything as Read**: Marks all updates across all pages and tabs as "Read." This is broader than the "Mark This Page as Read" option, as it applies to everything in the newsfeed, not just the current page. * **Modify Settings**: You can access settings or close the menu by clicking "Cancel."

*** ### Mobile App Newsfeed Settings In the **Settings** menu, you can configure your newsfeed display preferences: * **My Feeds**: Choose what appears on your My Feeds tab. * **Primary Only**: Display only the Primary tab. * **Secondary Only**: Display only the Secondary tab. * **Mentions**: Display the Mentions tab. * **Starred**: Display the Starred tab. This will appear only once you've starred a post.

**Classic Mode** and **Recommended Mode** offer two distinct ways to customize your News Feed experience. **Classic Mode** provides more control, with options to organize content using Primary and Secondary tabs, as well as additional tabs for @mentions, unread posts, and pinned content. Users can reorder these tabs, adjust which posts appear as unread, and sort their feeds by specific teams, making it ideal for those who prefer a highly organized layout. On the other hand, **Recommended Mode** is streamlined, displaying content in a single, algorithm-curated feed without the need for multiple tabs. **Recommended Mode** simplifies content management by relying on an algorithm, making it a good choice for mobile users seeking a more effortless, consolidated experience.

*** ### Interacting with Updates on Mobile Similar to the desktop version, when an update or post populates in the newsfeed, users have several interaction options: * **View Full Post**: Click this to see the complete post, including any additional content not shown in the preview. * **See Reactions**: View reactions from other users to gauge engagement with the post. * **Add a Reaction**: Add a reaction to the post. * **Comment**: If comments are allowed on the post, users can add their thoughts and commentary. * **Pin a Post**: Pinning a post makes it easier to find later. Pinned posts will appear in your **Pinned** tab for quick access. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
