How to Subscribe to New Channels on Tikker (It's Free!)

Tikker lets you build a personalised news feed by subscribing to channels from independent publishers, fact-checkers, and media organisations. Whether you want environmental reporting, feminist commentary, or global human-rights stories, there's a channel for it. Here's how to find and subscribe to them.

Step 1: Open the channel explorer

From the main Tikker feed, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the screen. A menu will slide up with several options.

Tap "Explore available channels" — the first item in the list. You can also reach this screen by tapping the subtitle text that reads "Tap to discover more channels" beneath the Tikker logo.

💡 The same menu also lets you view saved articles, refresh your feed, or adjust your preferences.

Step 2: Browse and subscribe to channels

The Available Channels screen shows all the channels you can follow. Each listing includes the channel's name, a short description, and a checkbox on the right.

Tap the icon next to any channel to subscribe to it.

Use the search icon (top-right) to filter channels by name or topic if you're looking for something specific.

📰 Channels include publishers like Global Voices, AltNews, Greenpeace India, Feminism in India, and more.
