What is Explore?
Explore is a new and exciting in-app news and analysis feature. You can use this section of the app to access all the content that we have available – from our extensive Reuters news to our market-leading, in-house content like IGTV. The update also enables you to customise the content or view to suit your preferences.
This release is just the beginning of a range of updates that we have planned for our in-app news and analysis. Watch this space!
