Common questions

How do I add a feed?

Settings, Add a feed. Paste a website's address and Lantern finds its feeds, or paste a feed's own address.

Can I bring my feeds from another reader?

Yes. Export them from your old reader as an OPML file, then in Lantern choose Settings, Add a feed, Choose an OPML file. Folders become sections. Settings, Export my feeds makes an OPML file you can take anywhere.

Why do some stories say "Summary only"?

Some sites only share a summary in their feed and don't allow the whole article to be fetched. Open original shows the story on the site.

How do I restore Lantern+ on a new phone?

Settings, Restore purchase, signed in with the same Apple Account. Family Sharing works too.

How do I cancel Lantern+?

In the Settings app on your iPhone: your name, Subscriptions, Lantern+. Cancel at least a day before it renews. Lantern keeps all your feeds and saved stories when Lantern+ ends.

How do I change my choices for ads?

Where the law asks for it (the EEA, the UK and Switzerland): Settings, Privacy choices for ads. Lantern's ads are never personalised.

Does Lantern sync between devices?

Not yet. Your library stays on your phone.
