Apple News+

My wife shares apple one subscription with our family. I have Apple News+ on my phone but it isn’t recognizing it on my iPad. Asking me to subscribe to News+. I have family sharing set on the iPad like the phone. Any ideas on why the iPad is not seeing the News+ subscription?

iPad Air, iOS 12

Family Sharing of Apple News+ I purchased 3 free months of Apple News+ and added Family sharing to provide the News+ to another family member . After verification process was completed the settings are showing the subscription is shared. Both iPads are running 16.3 and have been rebooted. The Family member has even uninstalled and reinstalled Apple News App but after all that, it stills doesn’t allow the sharing and only shows News+ available to be purchased on that family members iPad ???

Apple News+ Sharing I added Apple News+ because I can share with my family. For some reason my son who is also an Apple user can’t accept the sharing request, he keeps getting a failure when I send to him.

Family Sharing broken on ios 17 After installing iOS 17.0.1 a few hours ago on my iPhone 14, my wife can no longer access my shared Apple News+ or Apple TV+ subscriptions on her iPhone 6s plus. In Settings on both iPhones, Family Sharing is properly configured and enabled. I've restarted both phones multiple times. I've deleted and re-added the iPhone 6 from the "Family". Still the iPhone 6 does not recognize the shared News+ or Apple TV+ subscriptions. The shared iCloud storage however is working on the iPhone 6. Looks like a bug in iOS 17. Any suggestions?

Also seeing this. Worked fine until last night. I can access News+ on my Phone, Macbook and iPad Pro. But not on my iPad Mini. Same message - asks me to subscribe.

Assuming server error, would be nice to get some comfirmation.
