Apple News sidebar too obtrusive I’ve upgraded to iOS 12, and Apple News now sports a one-third page sidebar, which obscures the news feed. I’ve asked Support how to remove or reduce it, but it seems to be a “feature” - perhaps the idea is to make it easier to navigate, but I can’t bear it and will be looking for a replacement news aggregator. Any ideas?

Getting rid of new left sidebar in Apple news I just updated to iOS 12 on my iPad and am finding a number of things annoying, but the worst offender is that Apple has inserted a seemingly permanent left sidebar in its News app. This is supposed to allow you to change feeds and notifications, but there seems to be no way to “park” it out of sight in order to get the full screen of news I used to get.Does anyone have a solution to this?

Thank you! That fixed it. I tried everything, but did not see that icon.
