Listen to the news in your language27 languages, translated privately on your iPhone

English or 26 other languages

Aaven fetches the latest headlines, summarizes them and reads them aloud. Pick a playback language in Settings and the briefing is translated on your iPhone and read in that language. The app's own screens follow the language you choose, including right-to-left layouts for Arabic and Hebrew.

In 24 languages, news also comes from outlets that publish in that language, so you hear local-language reporting as well as translated headlines.

Private translation, on your iPhone

Translations come from Apple's on-device Translation, so the text is translated on your iPhone and not sent to a translation server. Apple prompts you to download a language pack the first time you use a language. This needs an iPhone running iOS 18 or later that supports the language.

Machine translation can make mistakes, so translations may contain errors. Every story links to the original article if you want to check the source.
