CNN: Live & Breaking News

News coverage for readers who want one place to follow major stories

CNN: Live & Breaking News brings CNN’s reporting to Android through articles, breaking-news updates, video and live coverage. It suits readers who want a broad news source rather than a single-topic app, with coverage that can move from developing events to longer reports and original programming.

What the app offers

• Follow developing stories through breaking-news alerts and continuously updated coverage.
• Read reports across major news areas, with additional sections for topics such as health and climate.
• Watch short-form news videos through CNN Shorts when a quick visual summary is more useful than a full article.
• Use live video and audio coverage for CNN, CNN International and HLN where available.
• Explore documentaries, original series and other longer-form programming alongside daily news.

Best suited to regular news followers

The app is a practical fit for people who check headlines throughout the day, follow fast-moving events or prefer mixing written reporting with video and audio. Its range also works for users who want both quick updates and more context after a story develops. Readers who only need a narrow subject feed may find the wider selection less focused.
