Apple News Fails to Load After iOS 18.2 Installation

Apple News fails to load after iOS 18.2 install on 7 Gen iPad. Tried deleting and reinstalling news app, resetting network settings, pausing VPN, and a full reset, all without success. Any tips would be appreciated.

iPad, iPadOS 18

Same exact problem on iPad after 18.2 upgrade - mine is a paid Apple News account. Has anyone heard of a resolution to this bug?

“Doesn’t work as expected”. Cancelled my subscription and requested a refund. I recommend we all follow suit to get their attention with the money, because they are not delivering.


Other comments discussed not closing the app - doesn’t matter, fail, fail, fail (see my other posts in other threads of same topic) - I’ve tried mostly everything and never used a VPN.

Like many others, these re-install instructions worked for a while, but then Apple News lapsed back to the endless spinner. So I repeated the instructions and that re-established Apple News. And then I tried one more step that seemed to make the fix last longer.


Here are those steps:

  • Open the Shortcuts app on the iPad. Select the "Gallery" (a collection of premade shortcuts)
  • In the search box, type Apple News and click to search
  • The search should produce a shortcut named "Top Stories from Apple News"
  • If Shortcuts gives you the option to add that shortcut to your Gallery, do that so next time you can go straight to the "Last" step below.
  • Last, click on the shortcut box labeled "Top Stories from Apple News". This should then open your Apple News and load the latest news stories.


Let us know if this works for you.

Good luck!
