Don’t get me wrong! Chrome remains my favorite web browser across platforms (from macOS to Windows and from iOS to Android) but there are certain things like “Article suggestions” that have often compelled me to look for Chrome alternatives. Whenever I open a new tab, too many suggested articles seem to clutter the whole interface. While some of the recommended stories do catch my eyes, most of them seem to be redundant. And that’s precisely what led me to explore a way to hide Chrome suggested articles on iPhone and Android. If you also prefer to have a clean tab, jump right in as I show you how you can disable article suggestions in Chrome with ease.
Chrome offers a pretty straightforward way to turn off article recommendations on iOS (and iPadOS) devices. But surprisingly, the web browser doesn’t offer a native feature to disable this feature on Android devices – for a reason best known to Google. However, there is no need to be disappointed as there is a simple workaround to get over the line. Having tried this hack on my Android device, I can vouch for its reliability. That said, let’s get going!
- Open the Chrome app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Next up, turn off the switch for Article Suggestions. Then, make sure to tap on Done at the top right to finish.
Chrome flags are known to solve quite a few riddles. And guess what, they have lived up to the mark for removing the recommended stories as well.
