Apple News+ Adds Family Sharing, Audio Features, and Local News

Apple has expanded its News+ service, allowing up to six family members to share one subscription. Users can now enjoy new audio features and local news, but updates are required to access these enhancements. The service is free to use, with a subscription fee of $9.99/month in the US, £9.99/month in the UK, and similar prices in other countries.

Apple News+ subscribers can now benefit from Family Sharing, enabling up to six family members to access the service using a single subscription. To experience the new audio features, users must update their devices to iOS 13.6 or later. Similarly, to access the latest local news features, users need to update to iOS 13.6, iPadOS 13.6, or macOS 10.15.6.

Apple News+ offers a free one-month trial, which automatically renews at the end of the trial period. The subscription fee varies by region: $9.99/month in the US, £9.99/month in the UK, $14.99 AUD/month in Australia, and $12.99 CAD/month in Canada. Apple Inc.'s media and content teams are responsible for developing Apple News+ Audio Stories and determining its pricing in different countries.

Apple News+ has introduced new features, including Family Sharing and enhanced audio content, along with local news updates. Users can enjoy these improvements after updating their devices. The service remains free to use, with a monthly subscription fee varying by region. Apple Inc. manages the development and pricing of Apple News+ Audio Stories.
