Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello there,
I am using an iPhone 6 and since some days, the news widget is gone. I cannot reactivate it via the "add widget" function - the news widget is no longer listed there.
I wonder what happened - I did not change any settings, so this should simply not happen. I am a little upset that obviously, there is a function to simply delete widget from my phone without any notifcation.
Can somebody explain me how this could have possibly happened?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10.1.1
I read one of the post and they were saying that it works, I have pasted their comments below.
Everyone’s saying seems correct.
News widget is available at AppStore with the name ‘Apple News’.
But, it looks available only if your Apple ID’s country/region is set to ‘United States’.
So, I think this trouble is specific to users whose country/region is outside of ‘United States’.
I’m also the one who met this trouble.
I opened AppStore, tap ‘Apps’ button, tap user icon and changed my Apple ID’s country/region to ‘United States’ and backed to AppStore, tap ‘Search’ and typed ‘Apple News’, then I could find and reinstalled it. After I restored my original country/region, the news contents also changed for my country.
Hi there,
thanks for your answer. But this didn´t really help: I can find quite some News app in the App Store, but none of them seems to be the original one from Apple. It seems like this app was completely removed from both the device and the App Store.
If you find it - can you please paste a screenshot of the name and the icon of it?
I also had my news widget disappear however the news app in question is no longer available on the App Store- I am not happy!!
This did not work for me unfortunately
This has happened to me as well, did you get resolution?
thnx
Nope, i have spent days looking for help, none worked so far. I even thought an update last month would ask me to reinstall my missing News app, but no.
So frustrating!
thanks for responding.
Simply change the app store region to US, download the news app and again revert back to your original region.
Thank you, but that didn’t work for me. I didn’t purchase it, it was preloaded on my iPad when purchased. And didn’t show up in purchase history.😩
Tried that, also didn’t show the right app. 😩 Thanks for responding though.
I don’t understand why Apple isn’t making Apple news app available in all the app stores around the world. It’s very necessary just like Apple weather app.
****!!!
Sorry only 3 stores, uk, us, australia.
So after you changed your region to US you went into App Store and found an app called Apple News?
When I try this I can not find such an app.
😩
Well I would say you need to solve that by yourself and I can’t help you with that. In my case I have my close relatives living in US so I just borrowed their address and card info.
Of course, thanks. Just wondered if you had the same issue.
thnx
