Add 'MacRumors' to iOS 9 News

[arn]

Hi,

MacRumors is on the new Apple News app. To add it, simply click on the following URL from an iOS 9 device:

https://news.apple.com/TJHjiLyhDTJ6xXWL3OO8YsQ

Once you open that page in Apple News, you can tap on the + button in the top right to add to your favorites.

Alternatively, just search for "MacRumors" and it should should up.

News seems to bring no benefits over Feedly, so I'm going to continue to use Feedly. Which is especially nice as it has a desktop version.

I changed all my location settings to USA and got the News app .

Which location setting? Like an USA iCloud account?

Just type Macrumors inside the Apple News app then hit + in upper right corner of the app to add

US, UK and Australia only, for some reason. Maybe Apple thinks that the rest of the world only read mexican.

Saying that.. I'm in the UK, on iOS 9 and I haven't got the news app? 🙁

No, just your “region” in settings > general. It has to be United States. Australia and UK are apparently not available in 9.0 either, only 9.1.

I put US in region settings and now I do have news app, but when I try to enter it i get this:

Wow, thanks for the tip! I actually got to keep the News app once I switched back to Sweden. Didn't expect that!

My news app installed but never loads. It tells me it is unavailable. Will have to fresh install, I suppose. (iphone 6)

One minute more way: navigate to Macrumors in Safari and tap the extensions icon and select "add to news."

Very nice! Now if someone will tell Apple to flip the switch on the Apple News Format so I can MAKE A CHANNEL LOOK PRETTY. Our RSS feeds don't even deliver photos because the company we use is apparently stupid. Looking forward to other good uses for news like MR. This basically gives a lot of news and info sites an app without the pain of developing an actual app.

Had MR pop up during initial set up on its own!

Is there anyway to set up news notifications from specific favourites? I would like a notification when a new MR story is published.

You were faster answering than I was ;-)

Try rebooting you device ( On/Off )

Good to know ! Have you tried rebooting your phone ? I read somewhere that it might leave then

OK , so I'm curious so I tried switching back to France and I lost my News app . I then went back to US , rebooted my phone and it's back !!!!

I haven't tried that. I rarely reboot my iPad, and frankly I have no intention of doing so, in fear of the News app going away.

Never.
