Are you one of those iPhone users who somehow lost their beloved News app? Don't worry! We've got you covered. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the steps to restore your lost News app on your iPhone.

Why did my News app disappear?

Before we dive into the restoration process, let's address the common question of why your News app might have suddenly disappeared. Several reasons could be behind this issue:

  • Accidental deletion
  • Software update glitches
  • Restrictions settings
  • App Store restrictions

Step 1: Check Restrictions Settings

The first thing you need to do is check your iPhone's settings to ensure the News app isn't restricted. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone
  2. Tap on "Screen Time"
  3. Select "Content & Privacy Restrictions"
  4. If enabled, tap on "iTunes & App Store Purchases"
  5. Check if "Deleting Apps" is set to "Don't Allow"
  6. If it is, you will need to change it to "Allow"

After making these changes, exit the settings and see if the News app has reappeared on your home screen.

Step 2: Search for the News App

If the News app wasn't restricted and still hasn't reappeared, it might just be hiding in a different folder or home screen. Employ the iPhone's search feature to find it:

  1. Swipe down on your home screen to access the search bar
  2. Type "News" and look for the app icon in the search results
  3. If found, tap on the app icon to open it

If you successfully find the News app, you can now relocate it back to your desired location on the home screen or a specific folder.

Step 3: Re-download the News App

If the previous steps didn't help in recovering your News app, it's possible that it got deleted accidentally. Let's try re-downloading it from the App Store:

  1. Open the App Store on your iPhone
  2. Tap on the "Search" tab at the bottom
  3. Type "News" in the search bar and search
  4. Locate the official News app and tap on it
  5. Press the "Get" button and confirm your download

Wait for the download and installation process to complete. Once done, the News app should now appear on your home screen or in the designated folder.

Step 4: Restart Your iPhone

If the above steps still haven't resolved the issue, it's time to give your iPhone a fresh start by restarting it. Follow these steps to restart your iPhone:

  1. Press and hold the power button (located on the side or top) and either volume up or down button simultaneously
  2. Keep holding until the "Slide to power off" slider appears on the screen
  3. Drag the slider to power off your device
  4. After your iPhone turns off, wait a few seconds and then press and hold the power button until the Apple logo appears

Once your iPhone restarts, check if the News app has reappeared on your home screen. Hopefully, this step will do the trick!

Step 5: Restore from an iCloud Backup

If all else fails, you can attempt to restore your iPhone from an iCloud backup that contains the News app. Follow these steps:

  1. Ensure you have an iCloud backup that includes the News app
  2. Open the Settings app on your iPhone
  3. Tap on your name at the top of the screen
  4. Select "iCloud"
  5. Tap on "iCloud Backup"
  6. Verify that the "iCloud Backup" toggle is enabled
  7. Tap on "Back Up Now" to create a fresh backup
  8. Once the backup is complete, go to "General" in the Settings app
  9. Scroll down and tap on "Reset"
  10. Choose "Erase All Content and Settings"
  11. When prompted, select "Restore from iCloud Backup"
  12. Select the latest backup that includes the News app

Wait for the restoration process to finish, and your iPhone should now have the News app back in its rightful place.
