News App on MacBook Pro 13 missing

Hello,

(4 Feb 2021)

I cannot find the Apple News App on MacBook Pro and need help finding / re-installing. This problem has existed since late 2020.


Currently:

  • MacBook Pro 13
  • running macOS Big Sur 11.2
  • Australia region (for App Store etc)
  • have News+ subscription (which works on iPhone)


Any thoughts for solutions please.

The News application is in every mac running Catalina or Big Sur, but it may be hidden, depending on region (I know because I am in Portugal, and still I have it on my mac).


Try going to the Applications folder and pressing command-shift-period to show hidden files.

You will see News

(4 Feb 2021) Thanks leroydouglas - I have seen this information - and it confirms I should be able to access Apple News as I am in The Australian region (and already subscribing to the Apple News service).


I have previously (2020) had the Apple News App installed on Mac and at some time it has disappeared. Now I cannot find it on the App Store to re-install.
