I recently updated my i phone 8 and now I cannot access Apple News

It states I need to connect to the internet or WiFi, even though I am connected to wifi and before, my phone would still find Apple News without the internet, how do I get apple news back?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hi there, CindyShoe,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you're unable to use the News app because of an alert indicating that you're not connected to the internet. We want to do all we can to help.


First, we'd recommend that you check the Apple System Status in your region here: System Status


We'd also like to verify that your Date and Time are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.


If you haven't already, let's go ahead and restart your iPhone and test again.


If you have any VPN software installed in Settings > General, we'd ask that you remove it temporarily and test your News app again.


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
