Hello everyone, welcome to Dr Yang’s Life Tips channel and I am Dr Yang.

Today, I'm going to show you how to add ‘Apple News’ to your iPad or iPhone.
First, what you need to do? Go to the 'setting' of your iPad or iPhone, then ‘general’.
Then, ‘Language & Region’, choose your country or region. This may work if the Apple News is available in your country or region.
If not, alternatively you need to set your country and region to the US or the UK. I will show you how to do it now.
The Apple News is only available in some countries or some regions in the world. What you need to do to add the Apple News icon on your iPad/iPhone?
Go to ‘settings’, then Scroll down to ‘general’. You move down to find the ‘language and region’.
First, you need to set up your iPad language, for example, mine is English in the UK.
Then you need go further down to the ‘region’. Right now, I choose the United Kingdom.
If you are in the US, you can change to US. Once you change to the new region,
then your iPad will know where you're based. They will send you the news more relevant to your region.
For example, if you are in US, the Apple News must send you more news from CNN, New York Post and so on.
If I'm based in the United Kingdom, it may get more news from BBC or from Sky News which will more relevant to the United Kingdom.
Of course, depends the Apple News availability. If you choose a country does not have that, it will remove the Apple News icon from your home screen.
or it will not add the Apple News icon on your home screen.
After you have set the language and the region, then you got Apple News on your home screen of your iPad or iPhone.
Then you click the Apple News, it will first show you the ‘news today’, the ‘top stories’.
If your setting is correct, it will always tell you something you're more interested in your region. You can set up what topic you're interested.
The top Story here: It is about ‘Anger mounts over Texas…’ and if you go down here, it is about COVID-19 in the US.
and the ‘Texas officials’ whatever… It looks like this ‘Top News’ is all about US. It is not about the UK.
I can't see anything very close to the United Kingdom. If you look at the left-hand side. You can see ‘politics’.
we can look at the history of what you have read. and you can have the ‘channel topics’ here.
Can you see the ‘Hollywood’ is grey? The grey colour means that the channel is unavailable in your region.
What you made do is that you may unfollow this one. You can do it very easily to choose what you want to follow and what you don't.
You can have the ‘Autoweek’. For example, this is about the Women's Health.
If you go further down, you can find out the ‘suggested by Siri’, and also a list of channels available.
Okay, I do have the UK politics here. Then you can look whatever you are interested here. This is fine to me.
If you see the ‘European’, you can find anything relevant to European. This one's about Greece.
For example, the ‘Brexit’. That has already done. I don't like. What you can do? You can stop suggestion.
Then it will be removed, which means anything relevant to the Brexit will not be pushed to your home screen.
Do not like fashion > stop suggestion. In this way, you can let Apple News know what you prefer, what you are more interested.
This is very handy. It will choose the news from Sky News and BBC or CNN to get the best latest news to your iPad or iPhone.
Okay, my problem today is that the ‘News today’ on the top looks like that it always pushes the news from US to my iPad, not from the UK.
What I have to do today? I have to try to change the setting to make sure the ‘Top Story’ are relevant to the United Kingdom.
From the Internet, you may find many advices. For example, the top one suggests you:
Go to the setting > general > language and region > ‘your country/region’; It didn't work.
Other people also show you: go to ‘general’, set up the ‘language and region’ to US first.
Then restart your iPhone/iPad, and then reset the ‘region’ to your country or region and restart your iPad.
But I tried this one, it didn't work again. Then I found my own way, which works.
First, I will show you how I did as the Internet suggested (didn't work). What you needed to do?
Go back to your home screen > click the setting > choose the ‘general’ > then, go to the ‘language & region’.
then you need to go further down to the ‘region’. Right now, I’m in the United Kingdom. What you need to do?
You need to click the ‘United States’, then ‘change to United States’. Okay, I had set my region as the ‘United States’.
What you need to do now is to restart your iPad. After restarting your iPad, then you come back to set your region back to the United Kingdom.
Let's see what happened. Right now, I have just restarted my iPad. Let's have a look at the News.
Okay, after refresh, you can see on the top, I have the banner which still show the politics about Donald Trump in the US.
If you look at the ‘Top Story’ here again. It is about Texas. What you need to do now is go to the ‘setting’ again > ‘general’.
I need a scroll down to the ‘region’. Right now, you can see on my region, it is USA.
I need to choose the United Kingdom. Then click ‘change to United Kingdom’ to allow the iPad to set my region as I am in the United Kingdom.
OK, you can see on my iPad in the setting, in general, and I have changed my region as I am in the United Kingdom.
After this, let's have look what happened to my Apple News.
On the top, I still have the politics in the US. I still have the news for the US. It still pushes the US region’s news to my iPad. But it's still not working.
Then I spent hours to find how to solve this problem. From Internet, some people say it will never work.
One people from the UK moved to Australia. He changed the region and changed the language to the Australia.
But all advertisement and the news are still from the UK. Because people suspect,
Apple system still recognise the iPad or iPhone are in the UK rather than moved to Australia.
After I did some research, then I found a way to set this to the new location.
After setup if I click this again. You can see the ‘Top Story’ here is from the Apple News editor.
‘The vaccine passport may allow holidays to Greece’. This is an UK news from The Sunday Times.
On the bottom left is about ‘Keir Starmer calls for British recovery Bond’. On the right-hand side is the ‘Nasa Mars rover’ from the BBC News.
If you move again, it is a Sky News on the left. Okay, I have successfully changed the Apple News to where I am in the United Kingdom.
Okay I will show you how I did this.
If you go to the ‘setting’, you need to click on your name (Apple ID) on the top left.
After click this, on the right-hand side, you can see many options. You scroll down until the ‘Media and Purchases’.
You need to click this one. After clicking this, and you need to ’View Account’.
Okay, use touch ID. This is my account. From here, you can see that here has the ‘Country /Region’.
The problem I had before was I changed the ‘country/region’ in the ‘general’. But not in ‘my account’.
Basically, you need to change your ‘country/region’ from your own ‘Apple account’, rather than from the ‘general’ of the iPad/iPhone.
If I click this one getting in here. Here says that ‘To change the country or region associated with this account, tap ‘change country or region’ below,
select the desired country or region, then accept the new ‘terms and conditions’.
Please note that you need to validate the method of payment for the new country or region.
If I click ‘change the country and region’. Here you can select the country or region you're interested.
For example, you can change it to Angola, Australia, Brazil, Cyprus. Where you go, you must change here. You are able to tell your iPad/iPhone where you are.
For me, if I go all the way down. I choose here the United Kingdom. That’s why I got the news from the United Kingdom.
Before I was in the United States here. That's why the Apple sent the news about United States to my Apple News.
Right now, if you click ‘United Kingdom’, then you need to agree the terms and condition. ‘Agree’.
Then they ask you about your credit card, PayPal whatever or use your mobile phone. You can choose ‘None’.
But you do need to put your name information, your home address, your country, and put your phone number here.
And the country region right now is the United Kingdom. Then you click ‘next’. Because I have done that already, so I just go back.
Okay, I do hope this solve your problem. If you do like my video, please remember to subscribe to my channel, switch on the Bell.
