<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/apple-news-app-reportedly-disabled-china' title="Apple News app has reportedly been disabled when used in China"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/09/apple-news-hero-iphone-6.jpg?itok=Ogu3RDYH' />[/url]</p> <p>The Apple News app that launched with iOS 9 (http://www.imore.com/./ios-9) is only officially available in the U.S. at the moment. However, a new report says that people who have installed the app in the U.S. and then traveled to China to use it have found that it doesn't work in that country.</p> <!--break--> <p>The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/12/technology/apple-is-said-to-deactivate-its-news-app-in-china.html) reports Apple made the decision to disable the News app in China, according to their unnamed source:</p>

<p>Those in China who look at the top of the Apple News feed, which would normally display a list of selected articles based on a user's preferred media, instead see an error message: "Can't refresh right now. News isn't supported in your current region."</p>

<p>Apple has not officially commented on the report. If its true, it's likely Apple made this move to avoid dealing with Chinese government censors.</p> <p>Source: New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/12/technology/apple-is-said-to-deactivate-its-news-app-in-china.html)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
