How to Read Any Paywalled Article From WSJ or LA Times Using Apple News+

While browsing the web or checking your Twitter news feed, you come across a paywalled article from The Wall Street Journal and wish to read it. But when you hit the link of the story, the paywall appears on the screen.

Even though you’ve signed up for the Apple News Plus, how would you read that article, as the news subscription service doesn’t offer any web login credential? Bother not; there is a quick workaround to bypass the paywall and open any articles from WSJ, LA Times or other supported publications with the News+. Let me walk you through the quick steps!

Access Any Paywalled Stories From WSJ or LA Times with Apple News Plus+ on iPhone and iPad

Sticky note: One thing worth noting upfront is that Apple News Plus allows you to access the older articles from WSJ articles only for a period of three days.

Step #1. As this trick works only in Safari, make sure to open the link of the article in this web browser only.

Step #2. Now, tap on the Share icon.

Wrapping Up…

As of now, News+ doesn’t seem to be perfectly optimized. The user interface needs a lot more polish to offer an enhanced reading experience.

However, with over 300 magazines in the offing and a lot more likely to come on board, the news service is a fine platform for voracious readers. Yet to get the most out of it? Check out this complete guide.
