Many
iPhone X/8 and iPhone 7/6s users after upgrading to latest iOS 11/ iOS 12 are
facing issue that the news widget is missing from the iPhone. News widget has
disappeared after the upgrade and it was working find prior updating to iOS 11.2.
You cannot reactivate it via the "add widget" function as the news
widget is no longer listed there. News widget is really news friendly app
widget that lets users to access news from the home screen. iPhone users have
been using the News Widget ever since it became available on iPhone.
The issue
of news widget gone from the iPhone is not spread across all the devices as the
other iphone and iPad Air 2 etc are not seeing this issue and news widget seems
to work fine for some Apple devices with same updated iOS 11 version. While for some users the news widget works
fine on iPhone 7 but it disappeared from my iPad mini. Due to this issue user don’t
have news from Apple and can’t do related activities.
