Family Sharing not working with Apple News+

Hi there dennisfromgoodlettsville,

I’m happy to see that you posted to the Apple Support Communities for assistance and I understand that your wife hasn’t been able to access that shared Apple News+ subscription. It’s my pleasure to assist you. 

If you’re using iOS devices, please ensure that both of you are running the latest version of iOS. At the moment, that would be iOS 13.3.1 The steps here will help you with updating if needed: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Also, try restarting your iOS device: Restart your iPhone

You’ll notice at the top of that article that there are links to the restart methods for the iPad and the iPod as well.

If the issue persists, reach out here for additional support: Contact Apple Support

Take care. 

Howdy dennisfromgoodlettsville,

Thanks for that clarification. In that case, check for any macOS updates: How to update the software on your Mac.

If your wife’s Mac doesn’t have any pending updates, she can also create a brand-new user account and test there: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac

If the issue persists, reach out here for additional support: Contact Apple Support

Wishing you the best!
