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
Jasper you did it. I got the News back. Thanks man. So basically i needed to change the region to US in Apple ID in order to download the Apple News. Then I have to go to Settings to change my region back to Canada in order to get local content. Finally!
that’s apple, no one can beat them 😓😓
Wasted time as resetting did not bring back News..
updated to ios 11.3 and now my news widget is gone. now i don’t give a **** about this apple news. i have other better apps downloaded.
If we would have known earlier that you don’t give a **** we would not have followed your advice!
Hi, I have same issue.
iPhone 7/10.2.1 Ireland
Deleted pre installed apps except Health and Wallet. News app now gone
Changed language & region settings to US.
Widget returned but then had news icon on home screen. Deleted icon and it deleted the widget also.
News app not available in App Store.
Please advise.
Thank you

Have the same problem. Well, i did this and poof it's back.
Turn off location services and turn it on back again.
Settings > privacy > location services "turn it off and on" Hope this helps.
I'm from canada btw.
This definitely works! Thank you Jasper 😊
Change country to US, When it asks for credit card info hit the back button to go back to App Store. News app is now there to be downloaded. After download change country back to UK. Sorted!
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?
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.
Thanks for this info! I’m uk and this worked for me. Now have the app back on my mobile. Thank you!
