Troubleshooting

How to fix AP News not working

AP News is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach apnews.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Reload AP News
Refresh the AP News tab first, because a stale page can leave headlines blank or keep a story from opening. On Windows or Linux press Ctrl+F5; on Mac press Command+Shift+R.
Check AP News data access
If the app opens but stories will not load on mobile data, check the phone setting. On iPhone, open Settings > Cellular and turn on AP News; on Android, open Settings > Apps > AP News > Mobile data and Wi-Fi and allow mobile data.
Update the AP News app
An older app build can hang on the splash screen or fail to refresh the feed. On iPhone, open App Store > profile icon, pull down to refresh, then tap Update next to AP News; on Android, open Google Play Store > profile icon > Manage apps and device > Updates available, then update it.
Clear AP News storage
If the app still fails for one person, clear its local data so it can rebuild its feed and settings. On Android, open Settings > Apps > AP News > Storage and cache > Clear cache; on iPhone, open Settings > General > iPhone Storage > AP News > Offload App, then tap Reinstall App.

While AP News is down: what to use instead

AP News website If the app will not load stories or alerts, try apnews.com in a browser; it can still work when the app has a local issue.
AP News app If the website hangs in your browser, try the iOS or Android app for headlines and story pages.
Reuters Use it for wire-style breaking news, politics, business, and world coverage while AP pages fail.
NPR Use NPR when you want US news updates with audio coverage instead of AP text.

About

What happens when AP News goes down

AP News is the Associated Press news site and app for breaking news, politics, sports, and US coverage. Readers and newsrooms rely on it for fast wire reports, so an outage can interrupt live updates, article pages, photos, and push alerts.

Failures vary by surface. On the website, the home feed may load without fresh stories, while article pages hang, show a blank screen, or lose photos. In the AP News app, refresh can spin, saved stories may not open, videos can stall, and a push alert can lead to an empty page. Problems often start with feeds and media rather than plain text, and they can affect one region or platform while another still works.

Questions

AP News FAQ

Is AP News down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Those reports come from a public outage-reporting service, and this site does not monitor AP News or collect reports itself. If the status looks normal, test apnews.com in another browser or on mobile data, then restart the app and check whether other news sites load on the same connection.

Why does the AP News app open to a blank feed?

A blank feed often points to stale app data or a blocked connection. Force close the app and switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If stories still will not load while apnews.com works in a browser, reinstall the app so it pulls a fresh feed.

Why won't articles or photos on apnews.com finish loading?

Content blockers, script blockers, private DNS filters, and strict browser privacy settings can stop article assets from loading. Open one story in a private window with extensions off, or try another browser on the same connection. If only the news site fails, clear site data for apnews.com before you change router settings.

Why are AP News videos spinning or showing a playback error?

Video can fail while text stories still load, especially on a filtered or slow connection. Pause your VPN, content blocker, data saver, and background downloads, then try the same video again. If it works on mobile data but not Wi-Fi, the router or network filter may be blocking the player.

Why am I not getting breaking news alerts from the app?

Check notification permission in iOS or Android, and make sure Do Not Disturb is not silencing the app. Open the app once after an update, because phones sometimes pause alerts for apps you have not opened. If alerts arrive late on one network, switch connections before you reinstall anything.

How we track AP News

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for AP News, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for AP News, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. AP News doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
