Play the news with Siri

Quick answer

"Play the news" and Siri starts an audio news briefing or a news podcast, depending on what's available in your region. Say "play the news from [outlet]" to pick a source. On HomePod it plays aloud in the room; ask "skip" to move to the next story.

If Siri doesn't get it

Available news sources vary by country and may use Apple Podcasts or a news provider. If nothing plays, name a specific news podcast instead.
