Apple News App Not Loading on iOS 18.2? Here's What to Do
The Apple News app is reportedly failing to load for some users, particularly on 7th generation iPads running iOS 18.2. While the cause is unclear, it seems linked to the recent update. Apple Support communities are discussing the issue, and Apple is aware, but no official fix has been released yet. Here are some potential solutions:
Troubleshooting Steps
- Check for a Software Update: Go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any available updates. This is the most likely solution given Apple's awareness of the problem.
- Toggle iCloud News Sync: Disabling and re-enabling News in iCloud settings (Settings > Your Name > iCloud > News) might resolve connection glitches.
- Verify Region Settings: Double-check your region settings in Settings > General > Language & Region > Region. Even if seemingly correct, re-selecting your region might help.
