Apple News requires wi-fi?

Whenever I'm in the car (for instance) and try to access Apple News I am informed that I'm not connected to the internet--even though my LTE connection is strong.

Apple News not connecting to internet It’s September 2024 and my Apple News says it’s not connected to the internet when all else is connected, and yes, my wifi is connected! But not Apple News. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling. No difference. I’ve off and on my wifi and no difference. I’ve turned off my iPhone and back on, no difference. I have forgotten my wifi and reset it, no difference . What can I do? I subscribe to Apple News + and can use it. If this heroes happening I’ll cancel it Apple. Please do something.

Why can't I access Apple News+ while using a VPN? When I try to view articles in Apple News+ with my VPN connected I get the following message: "This story is unavailable. Apple News isn’t connected to the internet." If I disconnect the VPN there is no problem, I can access everything. Is there a way around the problem? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

No Internet Connection on Apple News Since updating to iOS 18, I’m facing constant connection problems to Apple News- both on my iPhone 14Pro and iPad. The news feed does not get refreshed (shows “Offline” and “No Internet Connection”), and when I visit any media’s page, a message shows “Feed Unavailable, There may be a problem with server or network”- even though all other apps would be working fine over the internet. Had to cancel my News+ subscription, as it was pointless. Will a new update fix this?

On your iPhone, hit Settings / Cellular or Mobile Data (the name depends on regional settings) and scroll down to News. Enable it for data.

I have the same problem and my data is fully enabled?
