SIMKL News Tab: Complete Coverage for Every Title, Stay Updated!

The News Tab is a built-in content feed available on every TV show, anime, and movie page on SIMKL. It aggregates the latest editorial coverage related to a specific title and presents it directly inside the title interface.

This feature eliminates the need to search externally for updates and keeps all relevant articles centralized within the SIMKL ecosystem.

The News Tab transforms static title pages into dynamic information hubs by continuously surfacing articles from recognized entertainment media sources.

Where to Find the News Tab

The News Tab is located within the navigation bar on each title page. It appears alongside other contextual sections such as Summary, Episodes (for series), Lists, Shop, Screenshots, and Countdown (if applicable).

When selected, the News tab opens a structured feed dedicated exclusively to that title.

Availability Across Content Types

The News Tab is available on:

  • 🎬 Movies

  • 📺 TV Shows

  • 🌸 Anime

This ensures uniform functionality across the entire SIMKL database, regardless of content format.

Purpose of the News Tab

The News Tab exists to provide contextual awareness around a title.

Instead of being limited to tracking progress or ratings, users gain access to evolving editorial narratives, industry developments, and audience discourse connected to the content they follow.

The goal is to consolidate discovery, engagement, and news monitoring into one seamless interface.
