We
reported about all the new apps and features seen in the latest iOS 9
beta and in that report we'd mentioned how the News app is not
officially available for users outside the supported countries like US
or UK. However, it is very easy to enable Apple's new and swanky
Flipboard-style News app on any device even for non-supported countries. This
workaround was first reported by a Reddit user.
First
and foremost, you need a developer account and must have iOS 9 beta 3
installed on your device. Launch the Settings app on your iOS device and
then head to the General tab. Scroll down to the Language & Region
settings, and hit 'Region' under the Region Formats section. Now change
it from your region to United States and exit Settings.
You may
have to reboot your device to make it appear. To reboot the device, hit
the sleep/ wake button and slide to power off, after which you need to
hold hold the sleep/ wake button once again to start it. We can confirm
that this tweak worked for us on an iPad Air 2 in India.
There is
no need to change anything in the iTunes account region, which is a
popular method if you want to install any app not available in a
particular region. For example, Facebook's Paper app isn't available in
India and we've got it using this method.
This new Apple News app
offers a list of curated stories, which is similar to third-party apps
like Flipboard and Inside. This app also supports the addition of RSS
feeds from Safari.
