- Offline mode in Apple News+ lets you access the Today feed and News+ tab even when you don't have an internet connection
- Quartiles is a new and original daily word game now available on Apple News+
- Leaderboard in News+ Puzzles gives you access to new player data for Crossword, Mini Crossword, and Quartiles, including stats and streaks
- Cross-platform tracking detection delivers alerts to users if a compatible Bluetooth tracker they don't own moves with them, regardless of the operating system the device is paired with
