On Tuesday 13/12/22 Apple released iOS and iPad OS16.2. Still suffering from the Apple News persistent crashes on my 9.7” iPad Pro (no issues with iPhone) I had nothing to loose so decided to update.
** Working on my theory that as Apple News is supposedly packaged with the OS I first of all uninstalled the News app but did not reinstall.**
**I then installed iPad OS 16.2. The process was faultless but Apple News did not install as part of the process so I accessed it via the App Store.**
Again there is no indication of the version number as with other Apple packaged Apps. I dually reinstalled the News app which was also faultless and on completion opened it. It was slightly slow to load up but then worked without crashing. This was without having my topics set up. Having copied a list of my topics I then populated the app with these half expecting the crashing problem to recur due to my extensive list but am pleased to report it is now working as before OS16.1xx
So I presume a fix is now in place either with the News App and/or the OS update.
I just wish Apple would communicate with their users as a group when issues such as this occur. Many thanks to those who have reported the issue to Apple per se and hope the problem has resolved for yourselves. I am however sorry to learn that some of you are still having problems after the update.
