MANAGE SUBSCRIPTIONS   |   UNSUBSCRIBE   |   VIEW ONLINE   Here's how to use Texture, the beautiful 'Netflix for magazines' app Apple just bought by Avery Hartmans on Mar 13, 2018, 10:32 AM Advertisement Apple is employing the help of a popular app to help it fight fake news.  On Monday, Apple announced it was acquiring Texture, a smartphone app that gives users unlimited access to popular magazines for a monthly subscription fee.  Texture basically imports full issues of magazines and lets users read them in the original format. You can save individual articles and even download full issues of magazines, all within a beautifully designed app.  But it wasn't just Texture's look and feel that attracted Apple's interest. In an interview on Monday, Apple's head of software and services Eddy Cue said that Apple wants to use the app to bring quality journalism to its users.   "We wanted to bring trusted sources to users in a beautiful layout," Cue said, according to Axios reporter Sara Fischer. "We wanted to bring them trusted sources so we don't have to worry about a lot of the problems in the marketplace." Apple hasn't said how it will be incorporating Texture into its lineup of products — it already has an Apple News app, and Texture seems like a natural addition to that. But if Cue's comments are any indication, the acquisition is an effort prioritize traditional news sources — and keep fake news off its devices. For now, however, Texture remains a standalone app in the App Store and Google Play Store. Here's how it works: SEE ALSO: Apple might release a smaller, more affordable HomePod this year — and it's exactly what Apple needs to get its smart-home efforts off the ground Texture is free to download for both iPhones and Android devices, but you'll need to pay a subscription fee to use the app and access its 200+ magazines. When getting started with Texture, you'll see this screen, which has all the magazines the app currently offers. By tapping on the covers of the magazines you like, they'll be added to your "Favorites."
