i just upgraded to iOS 12, and one of my favorite iPad apps, the news app screen now has 1/3 of the screen taken up by a bar with the channels I’ve picked, but are now partially blocked by this bar. How do I hide it? Since I’ve already chosen the publication, I no longer need to see the list.
iPad (6th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 12
There is no way, currently, to hide the News feed channel side bar/panel, in the new Apple News app, in the new iOS 12.
Also, the News channel side bar/panel feature of the Apple News app may not be a bug, but works similarly to how the Apple iOS Mail app panels work with two panels always visible when using iOS/Apple Mail app in iPad landscape orientation.
So, this may not be an Apple News design flaw, per se, but an Apple News feature design change/enhancement.
The News channels used to be a second option in the lower screen menu that you had to tap and then tap to choose your news feeds, then return to the main page in the older version of the Apple News app.
Apple made the news channel side bar always on and available in landscape viewing mode to more easily access and update those news feed channels on the fly, now.
So, once again, this may not be a bug in the Apple News app, at all, but a feature enhancement.
If you do not like this feature the way it is, you can complain/send feedback to Apple.
The only way to get Apple to really listen to you, DIRECTLY, is to use their feedback portion of their website.

You can't, it's fixed. If you want to leave feedback to Apple about it : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
If you do not leave feedback with Apple, you risk Apple not having enough users complaining about this new feature change for them to have to correct this.
Post your feedback/complaint about this to Apple.
I agree. I am extremly disappointed in the left channel bar that I can’t get rid of in landscape mode. Apple news had become my main source of news, but now they ruined it by taking up a third of the screen with what really are promotions. Back to BBC I guess. Ugh.
I fully agree, and have logged with Apple. Very poor design choice and I do know how this passed usability quality checks
How can I hide news app channel bar?
