How To Get Apple News On Almost Any Apple Device

With 2 exceptions, the HomePod, and Apple TV, every other Apple device can show Apple News, even without paying for the added Apple News+ service. As you already know, there are 2 flavors of Apple News, the free and the paid ones. But what is not clear is how to get it.

Another thing too many iOS users are not aware of is that you can make Apple News email you new stories. That ubiquity could be confusing for phones sometimes. We have had cases where users subscribed to Apple News+ on one device, but another does not recognize it. It eventually gets resolved, but you might have to carefully go through the process of subscribing again before the phone realizes that you already have a subscription.

Still, as long as your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch are up to date, you have Apple News already. More than that, you also cannot remove Apple News from Mac, or Apple Watch. See How To Get Apple News On Almost Any Apple Device:
