I do not see an Audio button or Audio Tab. I have Apple News + What do I need to do?

Are you by any chance using the iOS 14 beta? If so, there may be features you won't have access to as beta software, by definition is not finished.

Ah. You need to update to iOS 13.6.

You did answer the question, why don’t we have the audio icon?

I also have this problem. I upgraded to News+ specifically for the audio content, but I don’t see the audio tab that’s supposed to be at the bottom.
