Ooh, this is nice! The iOS 9.1 update brings the News app to British iPhone and iPad users. Initial roll-out in iOS 9 saw this sceptred isle overlooked for reasons known only to Apple, although Siri suggestions for localised news stories still appeared when swiping right from the launcher.

Better late than never!

UPDATE: The Guardian lists the providers who’ve signed up:

  • BBC
  • The Telegraph
  • The Guardian
  • The Sun
  • Sky News
