Apple News Restricted

Hello -


I am trying to use Apple News but it is not showing up in my Home Screen. It doesn’t even come up when I swipe down to search for it, and when I click “OPEN” in the App Store, it gives me this message:

I have tried to change several things in the Restrictions in Settings, but nothing seems to work. Can somebody help?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

I did some research and found out that Apple News is only available in certain countries. I checked “Region” in Settings and realized that my region was set to one of the regions where Apple News is unavailable. I set my region to the US and now it is working. Thank you for your help anyway!

Okay, with Content & Privacy Restrictions still disabled, a forced restart of the iPad is recommended:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
