Switch currently used region on the device (Settings > General > Language & Region) to United States. Verify the News app is missing from Home Screen (use Spotlight Search if customer has many apps).

2. Go to "Settings > iTunes & App Store".

3. Sign out of Apple ID. Verify you have successfully signed out before proceeding to the next step.

4. Open Safari and use the following link:

https://appsto.re/us/KFxK_.i

- When opening the link in iOS Safari app, the App Store app will open and prompt user to switch the region for the App Store. Confirm this request.

5. App Store then should load News app (it might be necessary to tap again on the same URL if you receive prompt to switch the App Store region). Tap cloud symbol to download News app.

6. Next, change region on their iOS device to the region that is matching your current location.

7. Go to Widgets view, and if News widget is still missing, tap on Edit button to browse through available widgets.

8. Locate and add News Widget to the list of enabled widgets.

9. When done, sign in with their Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Store". Verify App Store region has been changed to previously used region.
