News won’t load /start on iPhone but works on Mac

Hello JSDeHart,

This page can help out with providing steps that can assist with issues where an app wont open as expected: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support

1. Close and reopen the app

Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

2. Restart your device

Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

3. Check for updates

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.

4. Delete the app, then redownload it

Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

If those steps haven't helped, also try checking for any VPNs or security/networking apps and profiles at Settings > General > VPN & Device Management. If there are any installed you may try temporarily uninstalling them just to help rule out any conflicts.

Cheers.

Hi JSDeHart,

If you're still unable to access the News app after updating and reinstalling the app, we'd suggest that contact Apple directly to investigate this further with you. You can find their contact details here: Contact Apple Support
