Apple iOS 13.6 Beta introduces a new feature of Apple News

Some users have discovered that iOS 13.6 Beta, which is currently being tested, introduces a new feature of Apple News, which is designed to save your location in the article when you start reading something and then exit the article or application.

In iOS 13.5.1 and earlier, if you quit an article while reading an article and later try to return to the same article, the Apple News app will automatically restart from the beginning of the article. In iOS 13.6, it will reopen to where you left off, so you don’t need to scroll down to find the last article you read.

According to foreign media MacRumors, the ‌Apple News‌ application takes about thirty seconds to register and save your location in the article before you can safely exit. This is not a required feature for short articles you read immediately, but for longer content (such as Apple News+ magazine articles), this is a welcome change.

The iOS 13.6 update also seems to lay the foundation for the audio features of Apple News+, which will enable Apple to provide audio versions of certain Apple News stories. Although audio is not enabled, for the time being, it seems to be a feature that Apple plans to launch in the near future.

In addition to Apple News changes, iOS 13.6 also includes a toggle button that provides finer control over the download and installation of iOS updates and adds a new symptom section to the health app.
