Upday is Europe’s most popular independent, free news aggregator app, developed by publisher Axel Springer SE and maintained by Upday GmbH & Co. KG, based in Berlin, Germany. The platform delivers fast, concise, and neutral news coverage across politics, world events, technology, sports, economy, crime, culture, science, and the Royal Family, serving over 25 million monthly users across 34 countries. Originally launched in cooperation with Samsung Electronics as a pre-installed app on Samsung Galaxy devices sold in Europe, Upday became the most popular news application in Europe by 2020.
At the end of 2023, the Samsung partnership concluded, and Axel Springer transformed Upday into an AI-driven news platform, leveraging cutting-edge technology combined with journalistic expertise from editorial teams across multiple European countries. The app offers bite-sized overviews of the most important headlines, trending stories curated to individual preferences and reading history, breaking news notifications, and popular articles without paywalls or hidden costs. The redesigned app also features games, puzzles, and quizzes alongside news content for a modern entertainment experience.
Upday’s business model is advertising-supported, providing completely free access to credible, diverse news perspectives powered by local journalists who combine editorial expertise with innovative curation technology. The platform covers local and global news with a commitment to neutrality and clarity, making complex topics easy to understand for a broad European audience. Users can access Upday via iOS App Store and Google Play Store, with localized versions available in English, German, French, Polish, and other languages.
