How to get started with News on iPad

The News app collects all the stories you want to read—from your favorite sources—about the topics that interest you most. Apple News+ subscribers can also access features like audio stories, puzzles, and recipes.

Siri gets to know what’s important to you as you read, and suggests stories you might like. You can follow a channel or topic to customize your feed and block ones you don’t want to see, and with Apple News+, you can solve daily puzzles like crosswords, Quartiles, sudoku, and Emoji Game.
