Apple News app is always “loading”

Same problem, none of the fixes seem to work. Cycling cellular, WiFi, restarts, uninstall/reinstall, etc..

after the “Top Stories” section it just said loading with a indefinite spinning circle.

canceled my New+ subscription today because of it.

Hey Daltman62,

It looks like the News app just continues to show loading on your iPhone.

Has this app ever worked for you? Are you able to use other apps that need a data connection like Safari without any issues? We recommend to start by following the steps here: If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

Have you noticed if this is happening over a Wi-Fi connection or cellular data or both? If you've only tried it on one type of network, try connecting to a different network and test the app out again.

Cheers!

Apple has confirmed this is an ongoing problem for some users.

“I have gone over the information from our developers. They are stating that they have had several reports from customers, not just you, that are experiencing the same thing as you are.

They are working very hard to resolve this issue and they hope to have it fixed very soon. I am am sorry to say they did not provide a time frame to when it would be fixed, just that they are aware of it and working very hard to resolve it.”

I’ve had the exact same problem for the last 1-2 months. The app used to work fine now it is constantly stuck “loading”

Were you able to fix it? I have exact same problem. Reinstalled News several times, restarted the phone, toggled between wifi and cell and nothing works.

Thanks Daltman62. That worked! Pretty ridiculous that's the only fix though.

Same problem use google news always works. I tried fixing many times always temporarily fix with Apple news

Did the same. Cancelled sub to apple news + and did as suggested above, switched to Google news. I don’t like the UI as much, but it works. Can’t beat that.

I am having the same problem. Just the cost and spinning wheel of infinity. Cycling through Wi-Fi and cellular did not work

So annoying
