Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Restrictions Apple News App

Anyone else have this issue: unable to open Apple News App due to “Restrictions enabled“, when they are actually not enabled?

I solved the issue myself by selecting a new region at random ( used Switzerland) , and then resetting the region back to US.

After a lot of online research it appears the addition of another keyboard may also cause this error.

Apple Support did not come up with suggestions. I had tried a reset and as well as a complete restore from a computer backup to no avail.
