IOS – Can’t open News app after changing region/country

iosiphonenews.app

After changing region/country, News can't be opened.
App Store shows installed, with "Open" button next to the App.
Tapping on it does nothing.

Asking Siri to open it, Siri says "can't right now".
I'm using an iPhone SE and the storage is not full.
The widget shows. Tapping on articles (in widget) opens Safari.

Anyone else had this, and solved it?

Best Answer

News App has been limited to specific countries.

You can change your country under Settings > General > Language & Region > Region to keep using News, if your country no longer has access to it otherwise.

Note: you can always use the App's widget in other countries.
