Frequently Asked Questions

Is Briefly free?

Yes! Briefly is free to download and use. The core news feed, AI summaries, morning and evening audio briefs, and home screen widget are all available for free. Briefly+ premium unlocks additional features like Ask Briefly (AI Q&A) and offline access.

How do the audio briefs work?

Every morning and evening, Briefly generates a fresh podcast-style audio brief featuring two AI hosts discussing the day's top stories. You can listen with the app in the background, and controls appear on your lock screen and in Control Center.

How do I cancel my Briefly+ subscription?

Subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID. Go to Settings > Your Name > Subscriptions on your iPhone, find Briefly, and tap Cancel Subscription. Your premium access will continue until the end of the current billing period.

How do I delete my account?

Open Briefly, go to your Profile (bottom-right tab), scroll down, and tap "Delete Account." This will permanently remove all your data from our servers including preferences, saved stories, and reading history.

Where does the news come from?

Briefly aggregates stories from hundreds of trusted news sources including Reuters, AP News, Bloomberg, BBC, and many more. Our AI summarizes the content but always links back to the original source for full articles.

The home screen widget isn't updating. What should I do?

Make sure you've opened the Briefly app at least once so the widget has data to display. Widgets refresh automatically every 30 minutes. If it's still blank, try removing and re-adding the widget.
