Using apple news in Germany

Hey guys,


I am currently trying to "de-google" my life. Therefore I also want to try out the apple news app instead of google news. Unfortunately I am living in Germany where the Apple news app is not available.


  1. Is there a possibility to use the Apple news app besides changing my region?
  2. Why is Apple news not available in most countries but Google news is?


Thanks in advance for your answers :)

You would have to live in one of those countries to use it.


We don't know the answer to your second question. You can guess as well as we can. My guess is licensing and either Google has a different structure or has just already gone through all the steps to get it.
