A Guide to Apple News

Apple News keeps you informed about everything important to you—politics and the economy, entertainment and sports, fashion and architecture, health and fitness. With an Apple News+ subscription, not only can you read hundreds of magazines and leading newspapers—you can also listen to audio versions of select articles and access premium local news content right in your Today feed.

And now with the latest version of the app, an Apple News+ subscription also includes exclusive daily puzzles: a full-size crossword and a crossword mini.

Apple News+ is the premium content subscription that includes hundreds of magazines and leading newspapers, narrated versions of subscription-only articles, and now, exclusive full-size crossword and crossword mini puzzles. New puzzles are added daily, and you can dip into the archive to play more anytime.

In Apple News on iPhone, you’ll spot a tab called Audio.

Here you’ll find Apple News Today—a short podcast by Apple News editors, published each weekday morning, about the day’s top stories and how news organizations are covering them. You’ll also find In Conversation, the weekly show where host Shumita Basu sits down with some of the most influential journalists, celebrities, and thought leaders about the stories shaping our culture, politics, and lives. Both shows are free for everyone.

On this tab, you’ll also be able to listen to audio stories: narrated versions of some of the best newspaper, magazine, and digital articles on Apple News+. Your Apple News+ subscription unlocks full access.

Apple News+ audio stories are completely ad-free.

Apple News audio is also available in CarPlay, letting you listen to Apple News Today, In Conversation, and Apple News+ audio stories while you drive.

The Today tab is where Apple News editors bring you the most important reporting and smartest analysis from respected news organizations. Stories trending with other Apple News readers appear below that, as do suggested stories from Apple News+.

You can follow specific publications or topics for a more personalized experience. The more you read (and follow), the better the app becomes at suggesting stories based on your preferences—while always respecting your privacy.

In a growing number of cities, you can get local news from a diverse collection of quality publishers, curated by local Apple News editors and personalized to your interests. You’ll see your weather forecast, top stories in your city, and coverage of important local topics like business, sports, real estate, dining, and more, right in your Today feed.

Subscribing to Apple News+ gets you unlimited access to hundreds of the world’s best magazines, cover to cover: People, The New Yorker, Time, New York magazine, Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ, The Atlantic, National Geographic, Wired, and hundreds more.

You also get access to more than 40 national and local newspapers including The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle, and San Antonio Express-News.

You’ll find the latest issues of the titles you follow in My Magazines on the News+ tab. You can save any magazine, cover to cover, for offline access.

Up to six family members can share an Apple News+ subscription and get full access to all the premium content at no additional cost—and each family member gets their own private, personalized experience.

Apple News uses on-device intelligence to recommend stories and accesses your information only with your permission, never sharing it with others. And advertisers and publishers aren’t allowed to track you—so only you know what you’ve read.
