Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I don’t have the news widget... I know, I know, scrol down to ‘edit’ look for the widget and press the + and press done... But the widget isn’t there either!
I do have a iPad on my Apple ID, which has the News widget...
I changed the location/region to US and the widget and app appears, but as soon as I change the location/region back to where I live, it’s gone again...
I have restored the phone and all...
please help! It’s driving me crazy!
iPhone XS
Hello Me_rules,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! It's my understanding that you are unable to see Apple News when you have a specific country set up. I can provide you more guidance.
Apple News and Apple News+ is currently offered in Australia, Canada, UK, and USA: iOS - Feature Availability - Apple If you do not have one of these supported countries selected, you would not see the feature appear.
If you do have a supported country set up, and still do not see the Apple News app or Widget, please let me know.
Kindest regards.
Me_rules,
Thanks for following up.
Let's gather some more details about this issue and check a few settings together.
You had mentioned the Widget appears when you change your country/region to US. Are you making that change in your device settings or on your Apple ID account? Can you also confirm that you are indeed residing within a supported country that we listed in our last reply?
Do you have the News app installed on your device: Read the latest headlines in the Apple News app - Apple Support And if so, does it work without issue when you launch it and begin using it?
Do you use Screen Time on your iPhone: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support If so, please navigate to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps, and make sure News is turned on.
Cheers!
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate the help!
I’m from the Netherlands, so I don’t have the news App on any of my devices, but my IPad, which is on the same Apple ID, does have the News widget.
I changed the country/region on my device.
I screen time is turned on, but I don’t use Content & Privacy Restrictions, but every thing is set on allow.
Hope this helps, if there are more questions please don’t hesitate to ask!
Me_rules,
Apple News and Apple News+, along with the associated Widget and content, are currently offered in Australia, Canada, UK, and USA only. This is why you are not able to locate and use the Apple News Widget on your iPhone.
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities.
Take care.
But I have the widget on my iPad, can someone please explain that.
Hi Joseph_S
thanks for the reply!
as stated before, my iPad does have the widget.
as does the iPhones of my friends and family, so I don’t think it has anything to do with my location.
thanks
