Here’s what you know about Apple News Food in iOS 18.4.
What is Apple News Food?
Apple News Food is a new part of the Apple News app that will work with iOS 18.4. “With the new food feature, users will be able to find stories curated by Apple’s news editors, as well as browsing, searching and filtering for thousands of recipes in the recipe catalog – new recipes are added every day,” Apple wrote in an email.
How do I get Apple News Food?
1. Public news.
2. Tap The following In the lower right corner of the screen.
3. Tap food.
You will see the options Recipe Catalog and Saved recipes Near the top of the page, you can scroll down to see other recipes and articles. You can also click on the forks and knives at the upper right corner of the screen at any time in the food section at any time Recipe Catalog. Once you enter Recipe Catalogthe fork and tool symbol will be replaced with the box symbol, which you can click to access your Saved recipes. To save a recipe, click the recipe you are interested in and click save. Recipes will be stored in your Saved recipes.
How much does Apple News Food cost?
The food section is free for everyone, but the free version only gives you access to some stories and recipes every day. With the free version of this section, I can access recipes like Million Dollars Sausage balls this Cucumber – Avacado – Dutch Sandwich. I’m not a picky eater and would love to try both, but I can’t access other recipes that I’m interested in the free version.
However, if you subscribe to Apple News Plus ($13 per month) or the main layer of Apple One ($38 per month), you have full access to the food area. This means you can browse the catalog of thousands of recipes and articles, save recipes in your own digital recipes, and access recipes offline. The recipe catalog makes it easy to find dinner ideas, vegetarian recipes and even cocktails.
What else can Apple News Food do?
You can also access what Apple calls Cook Mode in Apple News Food, which will show step-by-step instructions on the device full screen. You will see one step at a time, but you have to swipe on the screen to go to the next step. I tried to ask Siri to go to the next step, and the digital assistant ignored my request. If you are cooking and your hands are covered with flour, grease or anything else you don’t want to call, this can be a problem, but you still have to take the next step.
This feature does prevent your iPhone from falling asleep or dimming the screen. Good because then you don’t have to unlock your phone every minute to make sure you follow the instructions (not something I’ve done or anything else).
Cook Mode can also display the entire ingredient list for each recipe by mining raw material Near the top of the screen, this means you don’t have to write down an ingredient list the next time you go to the store.
However, you cannot copy and paste these ingredients or instructions from news into other applications, such as comments. You can share links to recipes or simply save them, but if you want to ask a roommate or partner to pick up some ingredients while you’re out there, you can’t easily copy and paste these ingredients into your message.
To access Cook Mode, click on the recipe in the app and click chef.
