I updated to iOS 14 and while the new widgets are cool, the one that is missing is for the news. I was using the beta version but when I updated to full iOS 14 suddenly I can’t add news widgets; the rest are fine. Any suggestions how to get it back? I restarted, deleted the app, reinstalled etc. Already.
I fixed it with the following steps ( my screenshots are in Italian😃):
1) Select Modify on the bottom of the page Widget
2) Click on the on the “+” on the top of the page
3) Search for the News
4) Select how you want to see the widget scrolling on the left (1 news, 2 news, many news )
think you should get paid for providing that considering Apple IT are employee to employed to provide that info.
surprised they don’t use the usual response switch it off and on and bobs your uncle.
You’re a gem! Thanks!
It works but isn’t it strange then that this is the only way and when I change back to NL the News App disappears but the headlines widget stays albeit with Dutch news now?
Beat response ever !!!! Solved in 30 seconds thanks to dilyan112
Super ! Thanks again
Thank you!!! This was very helpful and worked for me! :D
Hello mcallister129,
Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand you're unable to add the News widget on your iPhone.
Widgets is a great way to gather more information with your favorite apps. We'll be happy to help.
Excellent job with the troubleshooting steps that were performed. To help isolate this behavior further, we recommend to search for the News widget in both the Home Screen and in the Today View. For the appropriate steps, please the sections that says, "Add widgets to your Home Screen" and "Add widgets to Today View": Use widgets on your iPhone and iPod touch
In addition, you'll want to make sure that News is toggled on for "Suggest App" and "Show App in Search" within your settings. To verify that, you can go to Settings > News > Siri & Search.
Please let us know if that helps.
Kind regards.
I also have this issue, it disappeared back at beta 5 never to return.
I’ve removed news, forced reboot
reinstalled news from app store
rebooted again
still no news, widget, nothing, doesn’t appear in widget option or in search.
Tried suggestions above, everything is enabled.
I have the same issue but after playing around I figured out that this widget only works when the “Restrict Stories in Today” is turned off.
Annoying bug because I don’t won’t unwanted news on my widget, I only want news that I follow.
