Inshorts is a news app that provides the latest and best news from multiple national and international sources. The app summarises the news in a short and crisp 60 words or less format, personalised for the user in both English and Hindi. All summarised stories contain only headlines and facts, with no opinions, to help users stay informed of current affairs. Inshorts covers a wide range of topics, from the latest government policies to shakeups in Bollywood, and delivers them quickly.

The app has received positive reviews from various sources, including Google, ToI, and Buzzfeed. Inshorts requires certain permissions, such as access to the device's storage to save representational images and the Device ID to identify and solve technical issues. However, the app never uses photos, videos, or other media files, makes calls, sends messages, or saves and/or distributes device information.

Inshorts offers various features, including a search function for easier access to information, a news reader that summarises all breaking news, a personalised feed of the latest stories, videos, and other content, and news categories covering a vast variety of topics. The app sources articles from various publishers and news channels, such as Reuters, Indian Express, PTI, The Guardian, NYT, Outlook, TechCrunch, and Sportskeeda. Users can also share news on various social platforms, such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Reddit, Hike, and e-mail.
