Folders

You can group feeds into folders. The tabs above the list are your folders. The drawer, which opens with ≡ at the top left, also lists feeds by folder (the folder you're viewing is shown expanded).

The drawer

Folder actions​

Touch & hold a folder tab, or open the folder and tap ⋮ at the top right of the list > Folder actions…, to open a sheet of shortcuts for that folder. Under the title you see “N feeds · N unread.”

Folder actions

  • Photo frame (AURA Plus) — Show photos from this folder
  • Stats — AURA Brief for this folder
  • Mark all as read — This folder only
  • Manage feeds — Opens filtered to this folder
  • Name and order — Opens Manage folders

When you're viewing a keyword feed, these become Stats for this word and Settings for this feed.

Create, rename, and delete​

In Manage feeds (list ⋮ > Manage feeds), tap ⋮ > Manage folders.

  • Enter a name in New folder name and tap Create
  • To rename a folder, tap ⋮ next to it > Rename, enter the new name, and tap OK
  • To delete a folder, tap ⋮ next to it > Delete. AURA asks “Delete “…”?” and tells you “If you delete a folder, the feeds in it just move to Uncategorized.” Tap Delete to confirm
  • Drag ≡ at the right edge to reorder folders

Deleting a folder doesn't delete its feeds. They move to Uncategorized.

Uncategorized​

Feeds you add without choosing a folder go here. You can't rename or delete it. It always stays at the top of the drawer.

Put feeds in folders and move them between folders​

Each feed can be in only one folder. There are three ways to move one:

Manage feeds (+ at the bottom right adds a feed)

  • Manage feeds — Touch & hold a row to pick it up. Drop it past a folder heading to move it into that folder (with ≡ at the right edge, you don't need to touch & hold). After moving, you see “Moved 1 to “…””
  • Drawer — Touch & hold a feed and move your finger to reorder. Drag it past a folder heading to move it into that folder (you can drop it into a collapsed folder, too)
  • Settings sheet (below) — Choose under Folder

In Manage feeds, you can reorder only when the search box at the top is empty and no filter is applied.

Settings sheet (touch & hold)​

Touch & hold a feed and release without moving it to open its settings sheet. It's the same sheet in Manage feeds and in the drawer (in Manage feeds, tapping a row opens it too).

Settings sheet

  • Rename
  • Folder — Choose a folder (you can also create one with + New folder)
  • Show article images — Turn off to hide list thumbnails and the image at the top of articles (images inside the article text stay)
  • Pause refreshing — Nothing is fetched while paused
  • Move to top / Open site
  • Unsubscribe

Keyword feeds also have:

  • Where to search — The places to search besides Google News (see Add a feed)
  • Include articles matched only by outlet name — Off by default. Articles where the keyword matched only a station or outlet name are folded below the list
  • Stats for this word

Folder headings don't have a touch & hold menu (touch & hold picks them up so you can reorder folders).

Tab counts​

The number under each tab is the article count for the view you've chosen (see Read and save). Turn on Settings > Appearance > Hide empty feeds and folders to hide ones with no articles from tabs and menus.
