The Apple News+ service lets you access current and past issues of more than 200 magazines, but the interface for the app is a bit confusing and it can be hard to find past issues.
There are a couple methods that will let you see back issues of magazines, which we've outlined below.
Every magazine has an overview page in Apple News+, and though it's not immediately obvious, it's easy to get to.
This method will let you see the overview page for the magazine, where all back issues are listed. You can swipe to scroll through them and tap the download icon to download them for offline reading.
You can get to the same magazine overview page through the search function in Apple News, without having to open up a magazine.
All of the back issues for the magazine will be listed under "Recent Issues," and you can swipe through them as mentioned above.
While Texture users had issues dating back years, Apple News+ is limited to issues of magazines from March 2018 on, which is the date when Apple acquired the Texture app.
Back issues before March 2018 are not available within Apple News+, but going forward, Apple will presumably continue to keep older issues of magazines available.
