Apple Reportedly Plans International Expansion of News App

The tech giant is considering adding new countries to its News app while enhancing localized coverage and features like puzzles.

Apple's News app, currently available in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, may soon expand to additional markets, according to reports.
The app integrates human editorial curation and algorithmic content, which has previously slowed international rollout due to resource demands.
Plans reportedly include bringing the News+ puzzles section, currently limited to the US and Canada, to the UK as part of the expansion.
Apple News reaches approximately 125 million monthly users and plays a growing role in Apple's $96 billion annual services business.
Challenges for publishers include monetization difficulties due to Apple's strict data protection policies, despite the app driving significant traffic.
