Settled is a calm daily edition of things that happened a week or two ago.
Write below and a person will read it. There is no ticket system and no bot. If you'd like a reply, leave an address — otherwise the message still reaches us, it just ends the conversation there.
Because that is the app. Settled shows stories from 7–14 days ago, once the noise around them has died down — corrections have landed, the arguments have faded, and what is left is the thing itself. It is not a stale feed or a bug. Each story shows its original publication date, so a story dated last week is behaving correctly.
Settled needs an internet connection to fetch the day's edition. If you have turned sources or countries off in Settings, a narrow selection can leave a day with nothing in it — switching a source back on usually fixes it. On a day when too few stories clear our filters, we would rather publish nothing than pad the edition.
They are off until you ask for them. Settings → Notifications turns on a single daily reminder at an hour you choose. If you have enabled it and nothing arrives, check that notifications are allowed for Settled in the iOS Settings app.
Scroll to the end and choose "Load day before". There is no infinite scroll by design — the edition ends, and that is the point of it.

Nothing that identifies your device — no account, no advertising ID, no install ID. The privacy page sets out exactly what is and isn't recorded.
