Breaking News App Updated With User-Submitted Tips

The feature allows users to leave anonymous tips for nearby users when they witness a "breaking story."

Breaking News updated its iOS and Android applications with a new tips feature, allowing users to leave anonymous tips for nearby users when they witness a “breaking story.” These stories include things like police activity, car accidents, power outages, protests, “lots of sirens” and more.

Users can submit a tip by tapping on the new tip button on the top-right corner of the screen and selecting one of the available tip categories. The app now also supports 3-D Touch on iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, allowing users to post a tip by pressing on the app’s icon on their home screen.
