I am a loser switched to Incompetent Apple few years back! Whatever they can not fix they call it feature and
easy use API! LOL.
I was also beta user of ios14 on my iPhone 11 pro. I have same issue. I tried all the tricks listed here, none works.
Still no News widget. I even hard reset (mistake!) thinking god knows what else I am missing. Still did not
fix it. No News widget! I just updated to ios14.2, still no News Widget!
On top of it I filed closed to 30 bugs, none of which are fully fixed in 3 months I tested this half (may be less) baked,
fully rushed ios14 which barely provide anything new.
They added wonderful Automation which can automate most useless things and few useful things which only work
halfway!
Such a shame!
