Q: iOS 10 News widget only showing 2 stories?

Back in the old days of iOS 9, When I was on my home screen and swiped left, I got a darker screen that showed "Suggested Apps" and "News." News usually had about 4 articles. You had the option of "Show More" and it showed you about 8 or so.

 

Now in iOS 10 when I swipe left (sorry, I don't know what the term for that page is called), I have a bunch of widgets, but the News widget only has about 2 articles, and it says "Show Less". I want it to show more, not less!

 

Is there a way to get more news articles to show up in this feed?

    I have the same issue but in os 9.3.3. I didn't make any changes to settings recently and the news widget on spotlight started showing only 2 stories (vs its typical 4), the stories don't update (been seeing the same 2 stories now for over 24 hours), and the "show more" option is gone that would show 4 more stories for a total of 8 stories. I've tried all sorts of "solutions" but nothing has worked - hard reset, change language and region settings, turned spotlight in/off.
