On iPhone, in addition to subscribing to Apple News+, you can subscribe to individual publications from select publishers. You don’t even have to start in News. And when you subscribe to a channel, you automatically follow it, so stories from the channel show up in the Today feed.

You can access these subscriptions in News in three ways:

  • Subscribe within News: You can purchase a subscription directly in News. In a channel that offers subscriptions, tap the subscription button.
  • Access an existing subscription purchased from a publisher’s app: If you downloaded a publisher’s app from the App Store, and subscriptions you bought as in-app purchases are also available in News, you’re automatically granted access in News.
  • Access an existing subscription purchased from a publisher: If you purchased a subscription directly from a publisher’s website or from the publisher’s app on a non-Apple device, the publisher may allow you to sign in to your account in News to access your subscription there. To sign in, tap a story that requires a subscription to read, then tap the “Already subscribed” link. Enter the user name and password for your existing subscription.

Subscribing to a channel means you’ll follow it automatically, and its stories appear in the Today feed.

To cancel a subscription, tap Following, swipe up, tap Subscriptions (below the Manage heading), select the subscription, then tap Cancel Subscription.
