How to fix Apple News not working
Apple 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 developer.apple.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Apple News.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While Apple News is down: what to use instead
- Publisher sites in Safari Open the stories you follow in Safari and read them on the publisher's own site when the app will not load or refresh.
- Google News Use it in a browser to scan headlines and topics from many outlets while the app is unavailable.
- Flipboard Switch to it for a feed of topics and publisher stories if the app keeps showing a blank screen.
- Feedly Add the sites you read most and check its RSS view for new posts when the app will not open.

How we track Apple News
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Apple News, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Apple 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. This is separate from Apple News's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
