As far as I can tell setting the region doesn’t really work. Even on my USA iPhone with USA region, when I travel internationally the Apple news app refuses to load. Even the widget refuses to load. All based on my current physical location. It’s infuriating.
And to be clear, I’m just talking about free news content, no subscriptions, nothing you couldn’t get easily by going to the actual website, so any paid licensing geo restrictions shouldn’t really be relevant.
- wtmt 6y agoI don’t know what’s happening in your case, but changing the region works for me even in locations where the Apple News app isn’t available. Are you also using a non-USA store account when you travel? That can really confuse Apple News.
- lil1t 6y agoI'm using USA region without actually being there and non-USA store account. Something like a few months ago Apple News didn't load for me neither no matter what country VPN was set to. But now that I tried it again, it actually works just fine on iPadOS 13.4.1 correctly loading the USA stories based solely on the region settings.
