Just like MSN News, the Microsoft News app also shows breaking news alerts, has a dark theme. Microsoft is also adding a new option called “Get Microsoft News” to the sidebar, and it allows you to find the app on Android and iOS.

“This curation process is global, using editors with local expertise.
