How to turn off the BlinkFeed feature on HTC One
HTC launched last year the HTC One, one of its best-known mobiles and those that have sold the best recently. The company debuted a new aluminum design, the complete Ultrapixel camera and other hardware innovations. They also renewed the interface HTC Sense, adding a very interesting function called HTC BlinkFeed, that doesn't it's more than a newsreader built right into your home screen. This function is very similar to applications like Flipboard which, in addition to allowing us to add the news sources we want to read, also gives us the option to add our social networks to see the stories shared by our contacts, as if it were a personalized digital magazine. While many users find this a very handy feature, there are many others who hardly use it, and it can be annoying since it is always on the home screen HTC did not allow disable this feature, but after the update to HTC Sense 5.5 which arrived a few months ago already it is possible to remove HTC BlinkFeed.
The system to deactivate HTC BlinkFeed is very simple and fast. All you have to do is pinch on the home screen as if you want to zoom out, just like you do on a photo.Performing this gesture will open the settings panel of the home screen where, in the upper right corner, the BlinkFeed option appears. Just click on this button and we will see how the screen where HTC BlinkFeed was disappears. To activate it again you have to carry out the same process and it will reappear. HTC BlinkFeed is displayed as one more screen to the left of the home panel, so if we don't swipe to that side we won't see it, but if we don't use it, there's no point keeping it active either.
On the other hand, if you want to use HTC BlinkFeed, there are various options to configure to get the most out of it. Like any news reader, it is necessary that we add the content that interests us. We can add media directly, or also explore different categories such as business, design, entertainment , etc.It is important to choose content that arouses our interest, since only then can we create a feed that suits our concerns. In addition you can add various applications such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, so that the status updates and content shared by our contacts, all mixed in with the news. The design of HTC BlinkFeed is quite well achieved, like a kind of magazine that is articulated with different stories and through which we scroll by scrolling down. To update the content, just scroll down and all the new stories will appear. The HTC One M8 also has HTC BlinkFeed, which has also been updated and nowsupports more applications and has a larger content catalog.
