I read my news - not listen to it. How can I remove the "Listen Now" section?
It's super annoying to have my phone suddenly start talking randomly And then stopping an article is a whole other process. I just want read.
iPhone 4s, iOS 9
Hi KR-CA,
If you have automatic downloads for audio stories enabled, disable it by navigating to Settings > News, then turn off Download Audio. You can also check and ensure your Up Next queue is cleared with the help of the guide here: Listen to audio stories on iPhone
There's also steps for returning back reading from the mini player here: Listen to the news in the Apple News app
However, there's not a way to completely remove the 'Audio' tab from the Apple News app.
