Is News App missing on Mac, iPhone, or iPad? Here’s the solution to fix the News app is not showing on your apple device. I still remember that moment when I read the news that the Apple News app will be available in macOS. And when I tried to open and come to know that it is officially available in the UK, Canada, Australia, and the US only. So the truth is if you do not live in these countries, you are not eligible to use the Apple News app, which isn’t very pleasant for Apple news enthusiasts.

Apple March event released the Apple news Plus subscription service available on the latest macOS Version. And now Apple news is available in Canada also.

Luckily after so many trials and errors, I have got a way out to use the Apple News app on my macOS outside of these mentioned countries. If you are looking for the same, try this trick and get the Apple News app on your amazing macOS despite restrictions.

Does the “Change Region” trick still work to get the News Plus (Apple News+) app?

No, Why? Apple is Double-checking to use this app. First, you have USA apple ID and a valid payment method set up on your Apple ID. Apple doesn’t charge for Apple New Plus free trial subscription, but it’s trying to verify you. So, Sorry, there are no tricks that help to use New+ outside the US and Canada. till wait for the official declare
