Hello.

I've been having a real good go at getting Apple News+ to only show the stories I'm interested in (I subscribe to News+), but I've hit a brick wall in ios15.
I still have an old iPad using ios12 and I think it is so much better on that, because it doesn't show all the extra fluff like 'best of news+', 'for you in news+' and 'recommended issues'. it literally just sticks to the topics you have ticked.

on ios15 it's a completely different story because you seem to get half the stories, half the topics, but all of that extra fluff thrown in.

it's easy enough to remove apple's curated 'top stories' and 'spotlight', but has anyone worked out a way to remove these sections
'best of news+'
'for you in news+'
'recommended issues'

i know you can choose the 'restrict stories in today' option, but then it also restricts the channels you see to just the ones you've picked, which is very frustrating!
