Apple News not connected to Internet but all else is

On my iPad, I keep getting warnings that Apple News isn’t connected to the internet but all other apps and services work as expected. The error is short-lived but often no news stories are found or the error message reappears. I tried resetting the network settings, reinstalling the News app and restarting the iPad. So far no luck.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

A bit of an update, I have since spoken at length with an Apple support agent about this. After going through a number of tests it does appear, in my case at least, to be an issue with the news app.


While the issue is still ongoing the fact is that if Apple aren’t told there’s a problem, they can’t fix it; so my advice to anyone having this issue is to raise it with Apple support.


You will have to go through a bit of tedium and basic steps, but keep calm and patient with the agent and give them the chance to run the diagnostics they need to so that they can then present the evidence to the development team.


The more of us that report this, the more evidence can be supplied to the developers, the more evidence that the developers get then the easier it will be for them to understand and fix the issue.
