Settings-News-Show Story Previews...turn it off. It will load the story right in the News app.

Thanks for this!!

Great news! I love the News app and is one of the most frequently used Apple apps for me. Plus, I've already sent Apple feedback on bringing the News app to the Mac, which I really hope they do.

I actually didn't start using the app until recently. It's a great app now that it's open to smaller publishers. Very well designed and easy to use.

The feature I miss the most is being able to block certain sources in certain feeds. For example I don't really care what Breitbart has to say about Bernie Sanders nor do I care about what Daily Kos says about Donald Drumpf. Just the source tells me what the article will say.

Why is this still available in only a few countries ? For example Canada doesn't have it. Why ? Transit directions I can understand, since it requires work to build out. Are people going to be really confused if they can't get every single newspaper in their own country ?

PS. I know about the region trick. Thats not the point.

They should fix the length of time it takes to load new articles as a first step. It takes so long for that app to load today's news on my iPhone 6S that by the time it is loaded it is already old news.

Apple news is annoying as hell.
I haven't opened it in a while and it showed me the news when I last opened it.
Then it slowly started loading day by day news until it reached the present day.
The problem is that it was more than a 1000 articles in the feed to get to the present date.
I gave up half way
